Speech is one of the important criteria for assessing the development of children, since it is closely related to the development of the child’s thinking, as well as their entire mental sphere. Whether the child has speech development disorders or not directly affects how independent the child will grow, whether he will be able to find a common language with his parents, children of the same age and other people, how successfully the child will perform at school, etc. And in the future, the process of adaptation of a grown up child in society, and all their subsequent life, success or, on the contrary, pursuing failures and how much the child feels happy, are largely determined and can even be “programmed” in early childhood by precisely how the child is talking and whether the speech development is impaired.

Therefore, you shouldn’t underscore the speech defects in your child or any other problems of the speech development. If the parents are worried by certain episodes or have questions – be sure to consult the specialist – speech therapist.
