What is the best way to treat stuttering in children?

Every baby is the center of our family, so whether the child can grow up healthily is directly related to the happiness index of our family. Baby stuttering is a disease that many babies will have during their development stage. When a baby stutters, parents will be very worried, because stuttering will not only affect the baby’s normal communication with others, but more seriously, it will seriously affect the baby’s self-esteem and cause the baby to become inferior, so it is urgent to correctly treat the baby’s stuttering problem.

1. Treat it with a normal attitude. If you are nervous, the calculations and tone of your voice will show, and your child will be hinted at and will also become nervous, and his speech will become even less fluent.

2. Never make fun of, express disgust, threaten, or even hit or scold someone.

3. When he is around, don’t talk about him with others, don’t imitate his stuttering, and protect his self-esteem.

4. Speak to him slowly and pronounce each word clearly. At the same time, ask him to speak slowly and not in a hurry. However, when he speaks with some drawn-out or repetitive tones, just listen and don't repeat yourself. Wait for him to finish speaking, and then ask him to say it again after a while. With each experience, you will be able to say the same sentence much better the second time.

5. Let your child sing before speaking. This is the method of correcting stuttering advocated by Dr. Jushichiro Naito, the Japanese god of childcare. After the child starts to speak stutteringly, say to him, "Come on, let's sing that song!" and start singing with the child (the mother and child can also sing together), singing anything, as long as he is familiar with it. After singing, ask him gently: "What did you want to say just now?" At this time, in most cases, the child will not stutter and will speak fluently. Dr. Naito also said that this method had been tried on many children with very good results. Once children have the experience of speaking without stuttering, they will gain confidence in speaking, and after repeated practice, they can be cured.

6. When the child makes a little improvement, praise him generously. This will increase his confidence in speaking normally.

After the detailed introduction above, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of how to deal with children's stuttering problems. I hope that it can bring some help to parents who encounter this problem in life. If the baby has a stuttering problem before the age of 3, it is very likely caused by the incoordination between the baby's language and brain, not stuttering. Even if it is really stuttering, we must help the baby overcome the psychological illness as soon as possible and get rid of the stuttering problem as soon as possible.
