Have the child produce /k/ (the unvoiced version). Place their hand on your throat while you say /k/ (no vibration) vs. /g/ (vibration). Ask them to "turn on the motor" while keeping their tongue in the /k/ position.
Many children master the /g/ sound in the initial position of words (like "go" or "girl") long before they master it at the end of words. Why?
Consistency and home reinforcement are the cornerstones of successful therapy for final "G" errors. Because speech is a motor habit, frequent, short practice sessions are more effective than infrequent, long ones. Parents play a vital role by modeling the correct sound and providing gentle recasts—repeating the child's word correctly without making them feel corrected. By turning practice into a game, such as "G" word bingo or scavenger hunts, the child remains engaged in the repetitive work required to build new neural pathways.
