Many parents in the process of getting along with their children, sometimes because the child has not been very clear to speak and confused, such as clear pronunciation when pronouncing a single word, but not clear pronunciation when speaking long sentences, and expressing content that is difficult to understand. Children who are slurred and stuttering are likely to be associated with dysarthria.
The so-called sound formation refers to a complex action process that produces speech. The airflow exhaled from the chest cavity will make a sound under the vibration of the vocal cords, and then rub, block or modify through the structural organs such as the lips, tongue, pharynx, and jaw, producing different directions, pressures or speeds, and emitting different sounds.
Once there is a problem with this process, it will happen that the children speak vaguely, weakly, intermittently, and so on. It is mainly manifested as difficulty in pronouncing, inaccurate pronunciation, unclear biting, abnormal sounds, pitch and rate, rhythm, etc., and excessive nasal sounds.
Of course, dysarthria can be cured. If they can receive language rehabilitation training early, their incorrect voice can also be improved or fully restored, and the cure rate is 72.3% to 89.2%.
So, how can parents help children improve dysarthria?
First, strengthen mouth muscle exercises
When eating, parents can guide children to eat slower, so that they can strengthen the muscle exercise of the mouth on the one hand, and can also learn to organize and control the movement of the tongue and throat. Or when children drink water, they can be asked to drink water with a straw, which can help children expand lung capacity and strengthen the exercise of mouth muscles.
Second, perform game activities to improve pronunciation
Parents can carry out games, such as covering their mouths lightly, such as blowing small notes pasted on the table with their noses, to help children get used to breathing through their noses, and these training games can also improve children's non-pronunciation or strange pronunciation to some extent.
Third, blow balloons to train the breath
Balloon blowing is the most frequently used game, guiding them to blow for two or three seconds and then gradually increasing the time. After children are able to inhale enough air at once and exhale continuously, they should also be taught to inhale and exhale rhythmically, control their breath, and in the future, they can better cope with saying sentences of different lengths continuously, and learn how to breathe during speech.
Finally, use reward mechanisms to promote language development
Parents can give their child a reward after each training task, such as a hug or some appreciative language. Over time, he not only understood the meaning of this action, but also took the initiative to imitate it. In the subtle, let the child integrate into the living environment to improve dysarthria, promote language development, and prepare children for entering society in the future.
For children with dysarthria, if the child's language function can be restored to a normal level before school age, it will be of great help to the child's later life and learning.
