Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is currently 32 months old. Around 30 months, he could speak in complete sentences, but recently he has suddenly developed stuttering and is reluctant to speak. Sentences he used to be able to express now cannot be expressed, and his stuttering is quite severe. Additionally, he is not very willing to play with other children—is this related to his stuttering? Urgent!!! Thank you, thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Stuttering is a relatively complex issue with multiple influencing factors. First, focus on two aspects: observing changes in the child's stuttering.1. Relaxation: Engage the child in activities they enjoy, including gross motor activities like playing ball, trampoline, visiting amusement parks, various building toys, drawing, and full-body massages before bed, all of which can help relax their emotions.
2. Daily recitation of poems and singing of rhymes: Sentences with rhythm will help the child regain fluency in their speech.
At the same time, avoid directly evaluating the child's language skills, scolding them, or speaking too quickly or using overly long or complex sentences when talking to them.
