Question
What’s going on if a 2.5-year-old child can’t speak clearly?
Answer
During the process of learning language, unclear pronunciation is a common phenomenon in children. A 2.5-year-old child is learning to pronounce sounds and vocabulary, and may experience unclear speech due to underdeveloped articulation organs or a lack of rich language environment. Parents can help improve their child’s pronunciation by increasing language stimulation, providing a rich vocabulary environment, and conducting simple language training. If there are concerns about the child’s language development, it is recommended to consult a professional speech therapist.
