  • Title: [Disordered speech and language development as a pedagogic problem. Reaction of parents to child speech problems].
    Author: Goorhuis-Brouwer SM.
    Journal: Folia Phoniatr (Basel); 1990; 42(5):217-25. PubMed ID: 2283128.
    Abstract:
    Since children live with their parents and meet other children, we looked into the possible effects of language disorders in children on their interactions with the social surroundings. Language disorders are woven into the fabric of communication between parents and child and are not attributes of the child alone. Language-disturbed children are not more difficult in their behavior than normal-speaking children at the same age. However, the parental emotions about the language problem lead to the perception of more difficult behavior. Parents of language-disturbed children try to stimulate the language development of their child. In this they get disappointed by the reactions of the child and become less stimulating. It seems as if in the interactions between parents and child, the child partly creates his own--negative--surroundings.
