"Now think about it, it is better to cut in the middle of the month. It has grown thick now. There was a layer of fascia. The bigger the pain. "

"On the fourth day of my child's birth ... I thought the tongue strap was short, so I pushed the baby to see a doctor and cut it on the spot ... In fact, it is better to cut it decisively, so I don't have to worry about not cutting it all the time."

However, there are different voices. A mother came to see a doctor with a child, and her tongue was cut. How is it that the baby can't pronounce G and K? After several inspections, it is confirmed that the tongue strap is not too short. I was 6 years old and I couldn't correct it. My aunt pronounced it "DuDu" and my father pronounced it "Socks".

It can be seen how controversial people's cognition of language barriers is. Many mothers still can't speak clearly when they see children with their tongue shoelaces cut, and their pronunciation is inaccurate, which inevitably leads to anxiety, and even some people are distracted, fearing that their children's problems will be more serious and they will not be able to recover in the future.

The purpose of tongue lacing has always been controversial. Let's re-understand the relationship between lingual frenulum and language barrier from a scientific point of view.

After the newborn is born, as long as you observe it carefully, you will find that each baby's tongue belt is very short, which is a normal development phenomenon. No child is born with the same tongue strap as an adult.

However, some babies' tongue lacing did bring a lot of trouble in the early stage, so some babies need to cut the tongue lacing. Why?

1, unable to lick the upper jaw of the mouth, poor mobility in the mouth, not flexible enough, which makes it difficult to suck when breastfeeding.

2. Some babies not only have short tongues, but also have thick and square tongues, so they can't lick their gums, which may lead to uneven teeth and difficulties in eating.

Speech pathologists believe that there are many reasons for various problems in children's early language development, but the lingual frenulum is the first reason that easily misleads us to prevent language barriers. It is a typical case that a 6-year-old child still can't speak clearly after cutting his tongue strap.

The lingual frenulum of most babies is constantly developing and growing. The change between 2 and 4 years old shows different performances according to different personal development, and its observable elasticity is great. In addition, from the incidence of language disorders, at the age of 0-3, especially pronunciation problems, most of them belong to normal physiological phenomena. With the strengthening of the baby's oral motor ability, speech sports will continue to promote the healthy development of oral speech organs, the tongue strap will gradually move away from the tip of the tongue, and the tongue muscles will become more and more. Many pronunciations can be pronounced correctly.

What's the effect of short tongue frenulum on language pronunciation? According to the analysis of experts in Sunshine Language Correction and Rehabilitation Center, it will generally have different degrees of influence on the tip of the tongue, tongue surface sound and tongue edge sound. For example, the pronunciation time of L, R, T, D, N, th, sh and Z will be inaccurate, and it will be more vague when speaking quickly. If there is something wrong with the root sound or palatalization sound, it can't be simply considered as a problem with the lingual frenulum. According to the law of pronunciation, we should investigate the possibility of other dysarthria.

Children who have cut their tongue straps still can't pronounce clearly, which means that more professional speech therapists need to intervene, and they will evaluate and analyze them to help children with professional training in function and pronunciation.
