What to do if a child stutters

There are always some problems in the process of children's growth, which makes parents very worried. Children's stuttering is actually a symptom. It manifests as children's unfluent speech. At this time, parents will worry that it will have an adverse effect on their children's future growth. So how should parents help them correct and treat the problem on Children's Day? Let's learn about the following methods together?

In fact, there is no medicine to treat stuttering in children so far. The main thing is that parents should pay attention to cooperate with their children in correction in daily life. Moreover, this method should be used as early as possible. Once the child has formed a stable state, it will be difficult to correct it.

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.

The above are some methods to correct children’s stuttering. I hope that after introducing the above methods, parents can effectively help their children solve these problems in life. Never blame or beat or scold the children too much, as this will only make their stuttering situation worse.
