[QUOTE="Andy, post: 373917, member: 5096"] Something to try: Read books to your little one when difficult child is near by. Use different styles with your reading - maybe each character has a different tone, maybe each page is read with a different tone. (The 3 Little Pigs would be wonderful - wolf gets gruff voice and pigs get squeaky voice similar to difficult child's. The goal, difficult child may hear the fun you are having with reading with the variety of tones from low gruff, to whisper, to normal, to squeaky, ect. that maybe he will start practicing one of the non squeaky ones? Try to let your little one (within difficult child's hearing) know how the different tones will be used and maybe ask how the narrator should sound. For example, in the 3 Little Pigs, would your 4 year old like the narrator to have a calm soft voice or a face jumpy voice? If difficult child would let you read to him that would be fantastic but seeing the age, not many 11 year olds are still willing for mom and dad to read to them (though my Diva did when she was 10 or 11 and going through a rough time).
