hello...read through ur query and in my opinion i think your son has got tongue tie...end of his tongue might have got attached to floor of mouth...bcoz of that his tongue cannot be raised and all...nothing to worry in that...as far as if he doesnt have any complaints ragarding speech..it need not be corrected..but if he has any difficulty in speaking go to a dentist and check for his lingual attachment and can be excised by a small procedure.....nothing to worry in that...there cant be much difference with tongue excercise....so hope you got my answer...have a nice day!!!
