What causes stuttering in children?

Patient's question:

The baby is two years and eleven months old. Previously, he spoke clearly and had a well-organized manner. However, for the past two and a half months, he has suddenly developed intermittent stuttering. Expressing simple words has become particularly difficult for him, such as calling "Mommy," where he struggles to say the word even for a long time. It is evident that he is also very impatient. We have tried encouraging him to speak slowly and not to hurry, but it hasn't had much effect. His stuttering is less noticeable when singing children's songs. There is no history of stuttering in the family, and the symptoms fluctuate between better and worse.

Doctor's answer:

The issue of stuttering is quite complex. Currently, you can encourage the child to read Tang poems and sing children's songs together to avoid nervousness and restore fluency in language. If necessary, you can bring the child in for an appointment, but it is required to make a reservation in advance.
