    One more thing to try. As he or she plays, remind him or her of the toy's names, stressing the Puh phonem. Invite your child to name each toy and to repeat the syllables, Puh, Puh. During this exercise, observe if your toddler pronounces the phonem, Puh, when prompted, and if he or she names familiar objects. Use him they do to stimulate growth in your child, every day.
