Two and a half year old baby suddenly stutters

Stuttering is a common language disorder in young children. Its main clinical manifestations are poor fluency in speech, sometimes repetition of previous words, or pauses in the middle of sentences or phrases. Research shows that children around 3 years old are most likely to stutter. Although they know a lot of things at this age, they have a relatively small vocabulary. So when they want to express their ideas urgently, they are prone to stuttering.

Babies around two years old can just speak in sentences, so it is normal for them to have some language problems during this period. Two and a half years old is the best time for babies to learn to speak. Their vocabulary is increasing day by day, and they also use language to express their ideas and requests. However, sometimes because they are eager to express themselves and their language development is immature, their expression ability cannot keep up with the development of their thinking ability, which leads to stuttering. In addition, babies at this stage have a particularly strong ability to imitate. It is possible that the baby around him has a stutter, so the child is imitating. Don't worry too much.

1. Parents should create a pleasant and stable environment for children who stutter, eliminate their mental burden, and reduce their stuttering. When children stutter, parents should not imitate or laugh at them, should not draw too much attention to their speech defects, and should not show impatience or rudely interrupt their children's speech.

2. Parents should give more comfort and encouragement, pretend that nothing happened, guide their children to slow down and lower their volume when speaking, and speak calmly, so as to guide their children to build up self-confidence in overcoming stuttering.

3. When interacting with your baby, encourage him or her to think before speaking. If the baby says something wrong, don't correct him too much to avoid the psychological suggestion brought by reinforcement.

4. Providing opportunities for parent-child reading, reciting nursery rhymes and ancient poems can improve the baby's stuttering condition. Adults must speak clearly when communicating with children. Try to speak with clear pronunciation.
