Patient's question:
At the age of two and a half, it was discovered that she had a stutter in her speech. I thought her language was very adult-like. For a while, her stuttering improved, but now it has become severe again. Since she was two, she has liked watching cartoons and TV, and she pays particularly close attention when watching cartoons. At this time, I noticed her stuttering, and coincidentally, I came across an article in the Reference News that reported excessive TV and cartoon watching can be harmful to children's language development, making them prone to language and learning disorders. From then on, I controlled her cartoon watching. But now, at three years and three months, her stuttering is very severe—sometimes she repeats words, and other times she has to wait a long time before she can speak.Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can teach him to train slowly and build his confidence. Stuttering can be overcome. Use pinyin or simple words to help him read. I believe it will be effective.You can let her practice speaking short sentences, encourage her, and praise her. In this way, the child will feel more relaxed mentally, and they won’t be as nervous when speaking.
