Helpful hint for young children with speech-language delay:
Correct pronunciation in a neutral manner. This gives your toddler the message that you understand what he is saying and that you expect his speech to be clearer. Do not pressure your child to immediately repeat the word back to you.
If your child says a word unclearly such as "wawa" for "water," repeat the word correctly: "Oh, you want some water."
