Child still can't form proper sentences at the age of nine?
Hello,
My son is now nine years old and still often cannot form correct and, above all, grammatically correct sentences.
His sister, who is two years younger, can do it much better than him.
His teachers have also told us since he was six that something is missing.
However, his nanny was and is convinced that this is not true.
Now he is probably much too old to see a speech therapist, if he could somehow get a referral.
Does anyone know what else I could do? I urgently need advice.

Language is understanding and trains with exercise. Two approaches.
Reading and telling.
What is he interested in burning? (Are Dinos still in?) Buy him a youth book on the subject, then he comes in contact with many well formulated sentences and practice his language passively. Just as good would sophisticated youth novels, TKKG? The three question marks? I don’t know what’s up to today. But it should be exciting and very exciting for yourself to read.
Interest in what he has experienced or read, and let it tell you.
And there comes number two into play:
Patience and attention.
Listen to him attentively and patiently. If he’s hated something, he’ll do it right and let him repeat it. But stay attentive to what he says. He actively trains his language skills.
Logopäde et al.? Can usually analyze better, but ultimately do nothing else. Only that your child feels easily stigmatized. Maybe visit a logoped person analyzing for advice, but only if there is a really severe disorder (what I don’t think) go into therapy.
And finally, read your own text again critically and consider what places you would have corrected your son here. He learns language from people around him, so from you. Practice an elaborated language style and your son will follow you.
P.S.: Even if books don’t cost much more nowadays, access to a loan library with a large, preselected book treasure is also worthwhile. Cards are often almost free for children.
Have you never thought of getting a second opinion? Would have been said 2-3 years ago.
That’s still going! Better late than never!
He clearly has a deficit. 9-year-olds can form complete grammatically correct sentences.
Rat: Read every day and talk to him a lot.
👍🏻
As almost everyone has said, you should change the pediatrician, if necessary the school can also support that he gets a corresponding promotion.
It’s never too late for a logo holder. Maybe you should change the nurse.
What for heaven’s sake is this a nurse? It’s already limited to criminal failure.
Of course you should urgently switch to a logo holder:in and beforehand the doctor!
Turn to an early conveyor.
Teachers are supposed to write that the child is urgently needed and it would be better if he would visit a language school…. This shows the pediatrician and get a transfer
Early funding is for children under 6 years of age.
There’s something going wrong, anyway in my eyes.
Please try to find another nurse. It’s good if you wait and a child isn’t over-therapy, but she clearly missed something and didn’t take you seriously – and you trusted her.
Then try to put your son logoped.
I see two critical points with you: High media consumption – you really have to limit it. What makes a 9-year-old two to three hours before the screen? It’s gonna be a fight to “pamper” him there. Provides good alternatives to make it easier (jointly spent leisure, club, meetings with friends etc).
And if you speak three languages: yes, that can make sure that children need longer to learn a language correctly. Who’s talking? Do you have certain rules for a particular language? What language does your son prefer?
and the first question
you can get on stupid thoughts
explain whether there is a serious disability, learning weakness, or
teachers have also informed you about this, and that was already 3 years ago and was ignored
“But he is and is convinced that this is not true.”
This is certainly a case for a “second opinion”. She can come from another pediatrician or your pediatrician. In any case, however, I would say what the nurse said and that one wants to hear a second opinion. Every doctor will understand that.
might actually help a logopedia
Nine years? He had already been in the kindergarten for early funding. I’m sure you said it back then. Is he an inclusive child at school? Why didn’t you care?
