Patient's question:
My daughter is now 1 year and 10 months old. She used to answer questions clearly, but recently, for some unknown reason, she suddenly started stuttering when speaking. The stuttering started on the 22nd. What kind of assistance should I seek: What should I do? Will it improve in the future?Doctor's answer:
Those who have noticed that their child has a stuttering problem should correct it in a timely manner. The methods to correct a child's stuttering are as follows:1. When the child stutters while answering, never scold them loudly. Instead, guide them patiently and gently, without rushing. Have confidence and patience.
2. Implement language training for the child. Pay attention to learning pronunciation only when the muscles are relaxed. Help the child slow down their speaking speed, shorten their speaking time, and repeat the training repeatedly.
3. Temporarily separate the child from other children who stutter to avoid mutual influence.
4. For right-handed children, do not force them to switch to using their left hand.
