What is a lisp?
A lisp is a functional speech disorder affecting 'soft' sounds like s, z, sh, ch, j, zh (as in television).
The child has either:
a) Trouble making the sound, or
b) Has learned to say the sound incorrectly.
What would I hear or see?
You might see he tongue poking through the front teeth (inter-dental lisp) and hear a 'th' sound.
Or you might hear a 'slushy' unclear sound where the air is escaping sideways (lateral lisp).
When should I act?
It is normal for some children to have an inter-dental lisp, but they should have a nice clear 's' sound by around 4-4.5 years old. Is isn't normal to have a lateral 's'.
** Be mindful of missing front teeth**

It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve…
I was diagnosed with progressive Parkinson’s disease over ten years ago. During that time, I underwent numerous conventional treatments, but sadly, none brought lasting relief or meaningful improvement. Everything changed when I came across EarthCure Herbal Clinic (www.earthcureherbalclinic.com), through a testimonial from another patient, along with encouragement from my daughter, who had also benefited from EarthCure’s treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS). Additionally, my daughter’s father-in-law had successfully recovered from coronary artery disease (CAD) with their help. Their positive experiences gave me the confidence to try the clinic’s natural treatment for Parkinson’s. I placed an order for the EarthCure Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Program and followed the instructions exactly as provided. To my great relief, within just two months, my symptoms drastically improved and…
