Falling down and lamenting is something distinctly human. To leave him alone in his misery is to leave our humanity and give way to an individualism that will slowly leave us in misery itself. They are sensations that I have when observing how we treat each other within society, how we violate each other, wanting to succeed at all costs, without understanding that there is another who also seeks the same thing, but that due to different circumstances cannot follow my own rhythm.

Between the ages of 5 and 6, children refine the production of sounds, achieving greater precision in articulation. This is accompanied by the maturation of the chewing and swallowing functions, which are essential to achieve an oral myofunctional balance. What happens when they reach this age and do not pronounce well?
Many parents come to my office to say that the child speaks everything with the T, since certain phonemes predominate in their phonological repertoire: frequently T and P because they are primitive phonemes in order of acquisition. Depending on the degree of unintelligibility, these children tend to become easily frustrated and occasionally this linguistic difficulty can impact their behavior, showing anger or tantrums because they are not understood by the environment.
When we speak with a child who is in the process of acquiring language, not only what we say helps the child to learn language but also HOW we say it. Our way of approaching the child, of interacting and attracting their attention, will be key in this process since they will motivate them to respond reciprocally and initiate new communicative instances.
If we look carefully at the 32 letters that make up our alphabet, that is, our 27 consonants and 5 vowels, we will realize that certain letters have many more similarities in their graphic characteristics (shapes) than we might think. . In fact, it is very common to find children who confuse the letter a and the letter e, and that many parents do not know if it is something due to their development or carries some other disorder.
Each kid has his learning process, but that should be allowed time when he faces certain obstacles, such as something very common and typical: meeting children who confuse b and d. They are two very similar consonants and therefore can lead to error. These exercises that we present to you and, which you can do at home from today, will serve as training, learning and fun.

The babbling begins before the first year of life. Later, around the age of two or three, the development of his most complex oral expression begins, but it will not be until he is 5 years old that he will begin to tell his first stories and tales. At that time, families often ask therapists what they can do as parents from home to help their child.
Having dyslexia is a great difficulty. But it is more difficult if our students do not understand what happens to their partner or what it means to have this learning disorder. For this reason, on our site we offer you a very useful story to use as a resource in the classroom and to explain to children what dyslexia is.
There are many children who when they begin to read show small difficulties, either due to a slower speed lower than that of their peers or because of the mistakes they make. This usually causes them certain blocks and insecurities when it comes to reading aloud, but most of them only require a little more time and training both at school and at home.
