How to cure children's stuttering?

Although stuttering is not a disease, it is naturally troubling for parents to find that their children stutter. If it is not effectively treated and relieved for a long time, it will affect the child's growth, health and future life, or bring some obstacles. Therefore, only by discovering it as early as possible and taking corrective treatment measures as early as possible can the impact it causes be reduced.

Stuttering is not a disease but a habit or language disorder. Studies have shown that the vocal organs and brain monitoring of stutterers are no different from those of normal people. The cause of stuttering is not very clear at present, but it may be related to genetics, or it may be that the child imitates the speech of a stutterer when learning a language, which leads to stuttering. Stuttering refers to the interruption of normal speech rhythm, which manifests as involuntary repetition of language, prolonged pronunciation or cessation of pronunciation. That is, repeating a certain word over and over or getting stuck on a certain syllable. 50% of stuttering patients develop the disease before the age of 5, and it is more common for children aged 1 to 3 to have temporary stuttering when they are emotionally nervous.

The causes of stuttering are roughly as follows: ① Sudden mental stimulation, such as fright, fear, change of environment, etc. ② When children are learning to speak, parents are too demanding and correct them too much. ③ Stuttering due to imitating other people’s stuttering. ④Forcibly correcting left-handedness can also cause stuttering. It may also be related to genetic factors.

Stuttering is not a physiological defect or a disease of the vocal organs, but a language disorder that is closely related to the psychological state. Correcting children's stuttering should begin before school age. Parents are required to start from the following aspects: Eliminate the human factors in the surrounding environment that cause children to be nervous. People around children should not laugh at or mock children who stutter, so as to dispel their concerns about stuttering. A regular life, adequate sleep and rich games will gradually make children's temporary stuttering disappear. If adults speak to children in a calm and gentle tone and let the children imitate this calm tone, stuttering will gradually decrease. Participating in stuttering correction training classes allows children with stuttering to care for and help each other in a group environment, be more enterprising, and develop the habit of speaking calmly. You can also combine it with music, dance, and rhythmic movements, which is often more effective in correcting stuttering.

The above are some treatment issues for children’s stuttering. I hope everyone can pay special attention to them. If we want to effectively prevent children from stuttering and reduce the impact of stuttering on them, then we need to pay attention to the understanding of these common sense. In daily life, parents should encourage their children to speak more and give them the confidence and courage to speak.
