How to correct a child’s stuttering?

Some parents have found that their children have gradually developed the bad habit of stuttering during their daily education. At the beginning, they may just like to repeat a word, but in the end they really become a stutterer. However, as long as corrective treatment is carried out in time, it is still easy to cure for children. Next, the editor will talk about some more scientific corrective measures.

1. Speak slowly. Tell your children to think carefully before speaking their first sentence, and then speak it slowly; if they do not stutter when pronouncing the first word, they will be able to speak the following words fluently.

2. Eliminate tension. When children are nervous, they will stutter when speaking and easily develop stuttering. Parents should not force their children to speak in front of strangers, such as forcing them to say hello, etc., so as not to make the children nervous. In addition, parents should speak slowly and leisurely to their children, not too fast or too suddenly, otherwise it will easily make the children nervous.

3. Don’t imitate. Some children speak fluently, but they develop their own stuttering by imitating other people's stuttering. If parents find that their child stutters, they can stop letting the child learn to speak and shift the child's attention to game activities, such as stringing beads, doing puzzles, building blocks and other hands-on activities with less verbal communication. This will reduce the impact of stuttering and allow the child to speak fluent sentences unconsciously when he is calm.

4. Be more patient. Once a child starts stuttering, parents should not rush to blame him or her, should not be nervous, should pretend not to hear, and should not interrupt or correct him or her arbitrarily. Instead, parents should patiently listen to the child finish what he or she is saying. When talking with children, you should try to slow down the pace, use simple sentences and vocabulary, and use a calm, gentle and kind tone so that the child does not feel any pressure.

These measures are all used to correct children's stuttering. Generally speaking, with persistent persistence, obvious results can be achieved. However, the editor would like to remind you that if the child’s stuttering symptoms are severe, parents should seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid missing the best time to treat the disease.
