Patient's question:
The child is five years old and can answer questions somewhat clearly, but has difficulty pronouncing numbers like "47."Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is needed: How can this be addressed? Is surgery or speech correction required?
Doctor's answer:
Parents should create a pleasant and stable environment for children who stutter, completely eliminate their mental burden, and avoid exacerbating their stuttering. When a child stutters, avoid deliberately mimicking, mocking, or drawing excessive attention to their speech flaws. Do not display impatience or rudely interrupt the child's speech. Parents should offer more comfort and encouragement, pretending not to notice the stuttering, and guide the child to speak more slowly, at a lower volume, and with composure. Help the child build confidence in overcoming their stuttering.
