I have a 3 and a half year old son who has immature speech and dribbles quite a lot, he is very bright and understands communication very well and learns quickly but his speech is still unclear for other people to understand, could he be tongue tied?. My family has a history of tonsilitus (sorry about the spelling) could this be linked?. Would love some suggestions. Thank you and kind regards.

Victoria, your son sounds like a delight!
Dr. Greene has a great article on Childrens speech at Speech Delay. You may have already seen it, but if you haven't, I highly recommend it.
If you'd like to ask Dr. Greene about your specific situation, you can join him in Chat. Dr. Greene is typically in the chat room for an hour once a week, to answer parent’s questions. We list Dr. Greene’s next chat time in the little box in the left hand column that says, "Ask DrGreene".
