Many children develop stuttering if they do not learn to speak well when they are young. Some are caused by their own psychological effects or some congenital factors. Stuttering will have a great impact on the child's psychology, and they are always unable to integrate well into the circle of their peers. It is still necessary to treat the child when he is young.

Parents should treat children who stutter correctly, not over-correct their speech, and avoid punishment or discrimination. Take stuttering correction training treatment in time. Encourage children to participate in group activities and exercise.

Children's daily life should be regular. They should eat at regular times and ensure adequate sleep and rest. Do not force children aged 3 to 7 to memorize long stories or poems that are not suitable for their language ability. Develop good speaking habits. Rhythmic singing and reciting are helpful for children's language training.

In addition, children should be allowed to join a group, make more friends, and communicate more, and the stuttering problem will be corrected.
