Parents should never show their disappointment at the dismal show by their children. They should speak encouraging words to the children and make them give their best next time. Ensure that proper atmosphere is created for training and learning to score well in the examination.

Don't ever think that your child is a loser, he's just different and that's ok. You need to let him know that always. You also need to let him know that he's loved no matter how different he is. We are incapable of something, right.

my 7 year old son has speech problems too, he sees a speech therapist once a week normally, this also causes problems at school as teachers cannot understand him. the therapy does really help though and he is improving!

Is it really severe? Most children struggle with pronunciation when they have hearing problems, due to not being able to decipher the words properly, perhaps as well as going to a speech therapist get his ears tested.
I had ear infections as a child, which meant my ears were blocked a lot, I struggled with certain words, although it wasn’t a serious case it caused problems. I went on after my ear problems were sorted to have correct speech.
There's nothing to be said. You're son, through whatever is amazing.

My oldest son has Cerebral Palsey and his speech is affected badly. some people tend to stay away from some people with disabilities due to fear. Just be encourageing to your son, and continue with help for his speech. I am very proud of my son and love him for the person he is, other people can't take away from this. It is their loss, He is a great guy. We have been very lucky over the years, People we meet usually respond well to him and if they don't understand they ask. And this is ok with us.

Do not loose heart. You should take him to speech therapist and see something can be done. My son has pronounciation problem and speech problem -- he speaks so fast only myself, mywife and his school class teacher can understand. He is extraordinary in all aspects -- he has aspergus syndrome. Highly talented, high achiever in school, has excellent memory power, good at mathematics, he can tell you the day and date for 30 years!!
Unlike general medicine hospitals, there are only a few speech therapy institutes. Do you have specialists in your country for treatment of such problems?

My daughter had communication problems. After working with a speech therapist for a few months she is talking like crazy. A few things I have learned that helps is use 2 word phrases, put the toy they want next to your mouth and say what it is and then let them have it. Be consistent and say words over and over. He'll talk. Give it time.
