Today (Thursday) Bozaglo published a touching series of stories, which she raised in response to a follow-up question on the speech disorder (dysarthria) from which her five-year-old son Leo suffers.
In a brave and exposed text, Bozglou told about her frustration as a mother with the complex situation, and about the fears that the poor speech will affect her son's social life, and make him an object of ridicule by his friends.
She then uploaded videos in which she revealed attempts to teach him how to pronounce words correctly and accurately, in which she encourages him.

"Miran, I hope this isn't a rude question, but why don't you send Leo to a speech therapist? He doesn't speak clearly," noted one of the followers in a private message.
"You ask a lot, and if anything, I would be happy to consult with you on the matter. We have been with a speech therapist for over a year, although there is an improvement, but he still does not speak intelligibly," Miren said.
"He replaces the letters K and T, the ha is not emphasized, and the sh is not enough either," she elaborated.

"How helpless I am," lamented the loving mother.
"I want to help him, to absorb in his place the shame of not understanding him, and I don't want to think about what happens when I'm not by his side," she shared her concerns.
"He understands, and is ashamed to talk about it. He asked me two days ago, 'Mom, why don't I speak well?'. It's already really bothering him," she shared.
"My most sensitive child, there is no such heart in the world. I can't imagine how I would react in a situation if they laughed at him next to me!", I was horrified by the possibility.
Later, Bouzglou again turned to mothers who might have a wider knowledge on the subject than she did, and asked them for tips.
"If there are mothers who have gone through this with their children, I would love for you to write to me if it works out. When? Will you advise me whether to correct him, warn him, let him go? Thank you very much," she signed.

A few minutes later, she uploaded a video in which she tried to reason with Leo, and to understand his social situation against the background of the speech problem.
"Does it bother you? Are your friends saying anything to you?" she asked. "No," he answered her. She later recorded the practice she conducted with him in order to improve his diction. In another video, Buzaglou continued to practice with her son words that might be challenging for him. "You're doing well! ", she encouraged him, and hugged him. "I am the proudest of you in the world!", wrapped her in love. "You are a champion and smart boy!".
