What to do if your baby stutters

The occurrence of baby stuttering is one of the most troubling problems for many parents, because faced with this phenomenon, they don’t know how to help them correct it reasonably and effectively. In fact, especially mild stuttering problems, can be solved through some daily behaviors to help children. So, let us understand together how parents should cooperate with them to correct the baby when stuttering occurs.

If the problems reported and exposed cannot be properly resolved when they are young, it will have an adverse effect on their future growth and predictive ability. Therefore, parents cannot easily ignore this problem and should help them correct it.

How to correct stuttering

Because stuttering is a psychogenic disease. Therefore, the correct correction of stuttering should start with psychotherapy, focusing on eliminating the child’s psychological barriers. However, temporary stuttering does not require treatment. It can heal itself as the child grows older and his intelligence develops. However, parents must not let their children have psychological pressure, otherwise, stuttering will develop into stuttering disease.

The method of correcting stuttering is to first eliminate the tension and fear of the stuttering child, and at the same time give demonstrations and repeated practice.

The general approach is:

1. Let your children listen to more language with beautiful voice, fluent expression and appropriate content. For example, children's stories and children's poems, after they are familiar with them, let the children tell and recite them along.

2. Parents must talk to their children patiently and carefully to completely eliminate their children’s psychological fear of stuttering. When children make a little progress, they should be encouraged and rewarded. In short, make sure your child doesn't feel any psychological pressure when speaking.

3. Talk to your child more often, speak slowly, ask questions while talking, and guide the child to answer. If the child is reluctant to answer, do not force him/her, and continue talking. Allow the child to answer questions naturally when he/she is not paying attention to his/her stuttering. Avoid constantly criticizing the child's shortcomings while he/she is speaking.

The above are some correction methods for baby stuttering problems. I hope that parents can understand more scientific and effective correction methods from these introductions, so that they can accompany their children to treatment and correction. Never scold them, as this will only increase the children's psychological tension.
