Toddler speach development - can you help?

-I have a two year old girl who is very early in her speach development and is a chatterbox easily understood by most people when she speaks. She is using complete sentences, multisyllable words (such as dinosaur and delicate) and can sing well over 10 nursery rhymes and lots of kids songs and poems. My question is that despite this early development she is still having a few issues with the following sounds "tr" and "cr". So instead of train she will say: frain for example. She can say hard C and T without any issues, but its the joining up of these hard sounds with the letter r seems to be an issue. I have tried going over the sounds with her in a casual way so as not to discourage her talking, but is this something to be concerned about at her age (26 months)? She does not appear yet able to get her tongue around these sounds.I would say this is not a cause for concern at her age. Those sounds are blends and are sometimes difficult for children quite a bit older than she is. Don't make a big issue of it. Continue to model correct pronunciation. You can correct gently by saying, "Frain? Oh you mean train. Yes that is a big train." But don't push it. She is likely to self-correct eventually and it will not become a problem. It sounds like she is fairly advanced in her speech and language development. Encourage conversation by asking questions and really listening to her answers. Don't forget to encourage other areas of development by reading to her, playing outside, building with blocks, playing with playdough, crayons, and paints! Enjoy these early years. They are very special and go by all too quickly. Someday you will treasure these memories!
Its perfectly normal my daughters already a year ahead in primary school and didn't start talking until 3 years and then it wasn't "look a big black truck" it was "look a big black f*** " a little embarrassing when you try and ignore and she keeps repeating it to you while getting louder.
make her practice the r word and then join two words slowly and make her say the word fast...

for example the word Train...



give her practice to say Rain...

tell her to repeat after you... keep on telling rain... and when you say Train suddenly she'll get it...

that's how i trained my cousins...



Hope this helps.
Not a problem at this age.



I would just make sure you slightly emphasize those sounds in normal speech. Don't overdo it or make a big issue of it, just say 'oh, look at the big TRuck'.



She'll get the idea.

Her mouth just isn't developed enough. Her brain is working very, very fast and her facial muscles have to catch up. Don't worry they will!
There is absolutely no reason to be concerned. Your child is doing exactly what she should be doing at that age. Keep modeling appropriate language and expose her to songs, books, and rhymes. As her body develops her mouth will be reading to do the blends and digraphs. Remember she is only 26 months and has a long way to go in development. These problems should solve themselves.
