What causes a baby s big tongue and what causes a child s big tongue

First of all, the child must learn to speak from the process of inaccurate pronunciation to accurate pronunciation, this is because pronunciation is also an action, and the muscle function of the articulatory organ needs to reach the standard of accurate pronunciation with the child's development process and pronunciation practice.

Therefore, if the child is still in the early stage of language development, some inaccurate pronunciation may be normal, and speaking is an acquired skill after all, affected by many factors, different children may be fast and slow may also be normal performance. Of course, for this reason, it is not easy to judge whether the pronunciation of children in the early stage of language development is normal, in addition to the pathological factors that can be detected through a comprehensive examination, but also through the speech analysis of the specific pronunciation situation, of course, this requires rich knowledge and experience in speech pathology.

If the child is over three years old, there are very obvious pronunciation problems, which cannot be ignored, in addition to some pathological factors, if no obvious cause can be found, it may be that the muscle function of the articulatory organ does not meet the standard of accurate pronunciation, and accurate pronunciation can be obtained through speech correction.

Committed to the cause of speech disorder correction for many years, pronunciation problems caused by various reasons have basically been encountered, including the structural problems of the articulatory organs, language problems caused by hearing impairment, language problems caused by brain factors, intellectual cognitive defects, autism and many other pathological or physiological factors, plus some cases can not find obvious pathological or physiological factors, only manifested in the lack of muscle function of the articulatory organs or the problem of pronunciation habits, and the pronunciation problems caused by different factors are also diverse. Different causes and different manifestations may also require different correction programs, and it is also necessary to formulate correction plans based on the age, psychological state, personality and other conditions of the person with language impairment, so as to achieve the best correction effect with the least correction time, which requires sufficient knowledge of speech pathology and rich correction experience.

Under normal conditions, there is a membrane under the human tongue, called tongue-tie, but the tongue-tie is too tight

Slurred speech can be caused by tongue-tie or related factors such as delayed neurological development, genetic predisposition, and unfavorable language environment.

One is that some children are affected by the surrounding environment, and if there are family members who have unclear pronunciation, then the child's pronunciation will also be unclear.

Fifth, some children have problems with articulation organs, such as lip and tongue movements, or tongue-tie that causes some speech articulation.

The child is now two years old and seven months old, some words can be explained, and some words are not quite understood, is it a big tongue? For example: Mom can speak very clearly, and a whole sentence,

"Big tongue" is a common name for unclear pronunciation, in fact, it does not refer to the thickness or size of the tongue physiological mechanism, but the voice defect caused by the incorrect articulation method, as long as the pronunciation is ****, with the correct pronunciation part and pronunciation method for pronunciation training, you can completely correct the wrong speech, and speak like a normal person.

Formative factors:1genetic factors, such as parents, large tongues in close relatives; 2.Congenital physiological dysplasia, with various malformations, such as congenital cleft palate3There are diseases and physiological defects in the articulatory organs, such as the tongue is too large, too small, too flattened, too thick, and the tongue tie is too short.

4.organic lesions of the articulatory organs; 5.tongue-tie rigidity, vocal cord spasm masseter muscle spasm; 6.inaccurate pronunciation position; 7.Wrong pronunciation methods and methods; 8.Dialects form the structural stereotypes of speech.

It is not easy to tell whether tongue-tie is shortened in infancy.

There are many mothers who hold their babies who are only a few months old and ask for tongue-tie surgery, thinking that their babies have short tongue-tie and are worried that it will affect their speech and foreign language learning in the future.

Tongue-tie is a congenital developmental abnormality. The main manifestations are that the attachment point of the abdomen of the tongue moves forward to or near the tip of the tongue, or the attachment point of the alveolar ridge moves up to the upper part of the alveolar ridge, or the attachment point is normal, and the tongue movement is limited due to the short frenulum, and when the tongue is stretched forward, the tip of the tongue appears furrowed and "W" shaped; When the tongue is raised, the tip of the tongue cannot touch the anterior palate, which affects sucking, eating and clear speech in severe cases, and is commonly known as "big tongue".

However, because the baby's teeth have not erupted and the alveolar ridge has not yet developed, the floor of the mouth appears shallow, and the attachment point of the tongue tie is advanced and super-superior, which is not necessarily abnormal. With the eruption of teeth, the development of the alveolar ridge and the continuous movement of the tongue, the attachment point of the tongue-tie will gradually recede, and the tongue-tie will continue to relax and grow. Unless the lower anterior teeth erupt and the frenulum ulcer is caused by the short tongue-tie, the tongue-tie should be lengthened with early surgery in patients with Lee-Freund's disease.

What to do if the baby's tongue tie is shortened.

It is very rare for a person to have a speech abnormality caused by tongue-tie. The development of language is an important manifestation of intellectual development, because the individual differences in the intellectual development of babies are very different, so their language expression levels are not the same. The unclear speech caused by tongue-tie is only manifested in the unclear pronunciation of a few specific pinyin characters such as "l" and "r", not all the unclear speech, let alone a language disorder.

In the baby's learning period, sounds such as "l" and "r" are learned relatively late. Although many babies can speak most of the words, only the pronunciation of "flowers" and "grandma" is unclear, which is the reason.

If you suspect that your baby's tongue-tie is short, the mother should observe whether the speech is as mentioned above, train the baby's tongue to stretch out and lick the tongue of the upper teeth, and observe whether there is a tongue-tie shortening, which can only be done after the age of 3 years, at this time it can be clearly determined whether the tongue-tie is shortened. This tongue movement can be practiced up to 5 years of age, and surgery can be done if it does not improve. Even if you are a preschool child, it's not too late to undergo tongue-tie lengthening.
