How to treat a child's stuttering

Patient's question:

My baby is a girl, two years old. Last Friday, I suddenly noticed she has a severe stutter in her speech. She used to be very smart and lively, talkative, and spoke very fluently. But suddenly, she doesn't talk much anymore, even when she does, she always repeats words. Even simple three-word sentences are repeated. Also, these past few days, she has been particularly disobedient, always being stubborn and kicking. Sometimes, in the middle of the night while she's sleeping, she suddenly cries a few times and then falls back asleep.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Hello, stuttering in children is often caused by imitation or some kind of stimulation. Parents should not get anxious at this time. It is important to go to a regular hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment.
Suggestions:
It is recommended that when you notice your child stuttering, you should not scold them severely or imitate their stuttering. Instead, you should promptly help them correct the stuttering. Most children's stuttering, if not yet habitual, can be effectively corrected with proper handling. Stuttering correction treatment generally includes psychological therapy and language correction training.
