What is the treatment for stuttering in children?

Many children often stutter when they are learning to speak because their brains are not fully developed when they are young. Some even continue to have this phenomenon when they grow up. Many parents cannot deal with their children's articulation rationally and always scold and reprimand them. This negative reinforcement makes the children's stuttering more serious. So what is the treatment for children's stuttering?

Stuttering refers to the phenomenon of repeating sounds or interrupting words and sentences when speaking. It is a habitual language defect. Commonly known as stuttering, it is a very complex language disorder that involves many aspects such as genetic genes, neurophysiological development, psychological pressure and language behavior. It is a type of speech rhythm disorder. When the speech is expressed in a rough manner, it is often accompanied by body twitching movements and abnormal facial expressions. Stuttering mostly occurs in children and generally improves or disappears with age, and in some cases may persist into adulthood.

Stuttering is not a congenital disease. It can be prevented if you can do the following.

(1) Create a relaxed and pleasant living environment for patients, allow patients to speak calmly, and encourage patients to interact more with their parents and people around them.

(2) Educate patients not to be impatient and do not let them recite difficult-to-understand poems and articles too early to avoid causing mental stress.

(3) Don’t let your child imitate the way people who stutter speak.

(4) When the patient speaks incoherently or unfluently, do not pay too much attention to him, let alone scold or make fun of him, so as to avoid damaging the patient's self-confidence and causing mental stress.

Those who want to recover quickly from pseudo-stuttering mainly due to psychological disorders can consider participating in public speaking, self-confidence training, and the Success Fleet or training in a simple place. If you practice pronunciation, it will only get worse. Most of the current treatment institutions cannot distinguish between true and false stuttering, and the therapies they adopt are mainly based on pronunciation methods, which need to be chosen with caution. For pseudo-stutterers whose main problem is stuttering, the focus is on adjusting their personality, emotions and speech habits. For those who have true stuttering, it is necessary not only to remove psychological barriers, but also to undergo functional recovery training and appropriate corrective training.

When a child stutters, adults must be patient enough and not criticize or blame. They should create a good speaking environment for the child and encourage the child to speak slowly without being anxious. If they just scold the child, it will only cause the child to stutter more and more, and in severe cases, the child may become autistic, so it must be given enough attention.
