In this episode of The SLP Mom Show, we're diving into a question almost every parent has asked at some point: "Why does my child mispronounce words?" Whether it’s “wabbit” instead of “rabbit” or “goggie” instead of “doggie,” mispronunciations are a totally normal part of language development—but how do you know what’s typical and what might need support?

I’ll walk you through:

  • What’s developmentally expected when it comes to speech sounds
  • Why some sounds take longer to master
  • When to let things play out and when to seek help

If you've ever wondered whether your child's speech is on track, this episode is for you!
