What to do if your 7-year-old child stutters

Stuttering is a disease that children are prone to, and it is also a language disorder, which we also call stammering. It is generally more of a psychological factor. When a child has a stuttering problem, adults must pay attention to it, and do not despise or scold the child. This is not conducive to the child's correction. We should encourage the child more and help the child to actively adjust. What should we do if a 7-year-old child stutters? Let’s take a look at it below.

First, we need to eliminate the child's nervousness. Children may feel nervous because they are afraid of strangers, see many unfamiliar people, or are in an unfamiliar environment. Therefore, as parents, we must reduce the child's nervousness.

Second, as parents, they are very anxious about their children’s stuttering. They don’t have a normal mindset and always want to correct their children’s stuttering immediately, but this will only make the children very nervous. Therefore, parents should not be anxious and work calmly with their children.

Third, as parents, you should take your children to public places or crowded places more often, or take your children to neighbors or other homes to play often, let them interact with more people, talk more, and exercise themselves more, so that they will gradually get better.

4. As parents, we do not approve of taking children to "stuttering correction schools" where adults or older children go to, as it will easily make children aware of their stuttering.

Through the above introduction, we now know what to do if a 7-year-old child stutters. In normal times, we should encourage the child more and communicate more with the child. In particular, we should encourage the child psychologically, especially let the child speak boldly, and let the child recite ancient poems or read aloud.
