One of the videos focuses on P, B and M. , and it shows how to teach your child to say those sounds. They are doing well at these.
How do you teach R? My oldest's name is Reed, and of course, he calls himself 'Wee'
When I stress the sound the R makes, he says it as ''oooo"
So his name is ooooowee. | Don't stress over teaching him that sound -- you just keep repeating his name correctly. /R/ is one of the LAST sounds to develop... and the hardest to teach b/c you can't see what your tongue is doing while producing the sound. 2.5 is too young to try and attempt to teach it.
