Patient's question:
The child is three and a half years old. They used to stutter occasionally, but recently it has become more severe, especially when they are nervous.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Stuttering is not a simple language disorder; it is a complex functional disturbance in both physiological and psychological aspects that can be improved through effort.
Suggestions:
First, it is important to correct negative psychological attitudes. The more one stutters, the more they should practice speaking, especially in crowded settings. When countless eyes are focused on you, you should feel as if you are in a place with no one watching, which will reduce psychological pressure and help your speech gradually become more natural. Second, when speaking, pay attention to slowing down your pace and avoid being overly anxious. Speak in a lower volume with a softer tone, avoiding the tendency to emphasize every word too strongly. Coordinate speech with breathing—neither start speaking immediately after inhaling (as this may make your breath too forceful) nor speak while exhaling (as this may make your breath too weak).
