Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is related to the mutual restraint and multiplication of the five elements of heart, liver, lung, spleen, and kidney, the imbalance of yin and yang, and the excessive yang in the meridians. What are some ways to correct baby’s stuttering?

The causes of stuttering in children are quite complex. In daily life, when children see funny scenes of stuttering on TV or in movies, they will imitate them out of strong curiosity and interest, and over time they will easily develop stuttering.

In addition, children are in a state of fear, anxiety, anger, and tension for a long time, which leads to a lack of self-confidence, which is also an important cause of stuttering.

In addition, some children are introverted, shy, unwilling to interact with others, and overly nervous, which causes them to stutter when communicating with others.

Stuttering caused by these reasons accounts for two-thirds of children who stutter, and can basically be corrected through psychological intervention. Generally speaking, before the age of three is a sensitive period for children to learn to speak, and parents must provide their children with a good environment at this time.

Doctors will take symptomatic treatment according to the different causes of the disease. For children who suffer from severe psychological tension, sweat when speaking, and stutter, they can be given some tranquilizers, anti-anxiety drugs, anti-depressants and other drugs for treatment.

We should also pay attention to enhancing children's self-confidence and provide behavioral training for children. When children stutter, do not interrupt them, but guide them correctly in a timely manner. Comprehensive treatment should be advocated for stuttering treatment, as the effect of a single treatment is not very ideal.

To treat stuttering, you need to move your mouth first

Although stuttering is caused by psychological disorders, many children are often unable to speak when they come to the doctor. Psychological treatment alone may not solve the functional problem. Therefore, experienced doctors will generally give children speech correction treatment to make the child's mouth move.

As the treatment progresses, the child's speech will gradually become fluent, his confidence will naturally increase, and psychological barriers may be overcome.

To this end, how should parents distinguish it? "If a child stutters at the age of two, parents should do a good job of guiding them, patiently and calmly teaching them word by word. But if the symptoms do not subside after the child is three or four years old, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately."

It is best to treat stuttering before the child starts elementary school, otherwise classmates will laugh at him because of his stuttering problem. At this time, the psychological shadow will be aggravated and the treatment will be more difficult. In addition, stuttering treatment takes a long time, generally more than a year. During this period, the patient must persist and the parents must cooperate, otherwise the success rate will not be high and the treatment effect will not be ideal.

The editor reminds parents that stuttering treatment is time-sensitive, and the best treatment period should be before the age of six. If a child continues to stutter for three months, parents should be alert and take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible. For some stuttering problems, parents can eliminate their children's stuttering symptoms through self-treatment at home, but for others, they need to go to a regular hospital to solve the problem.
