SPEECH PATTERN
ADVICE TO PARENTS
AVOIDANCE OF "BABY TALK*' (P.A.) DUNEDIN, this day. A report on baby talk from the teacher in charge of the Speech Defects School was received by the Education Board.
It was stated that if a mother persistently used back to a baby its own babyish attempts at words, she was laying the foundation for possible speech trouble later, for the child was content to accept speech patterns he had heard, and formed speech habits which became a future source of trouble to him and his teachers. Parents should speak naturally and give the child a good speech pattern.
