Stuttering is a common speech disorder in children, characterized by disfluency, blockage, and repetition. Recommendations Speech correction training, based on psychological therapy, helps children gain confidence and feel comfortable breathing and using their speech organs, which is essential for successful speech correction training. The following methods can be adopted: 1. Slow down the child's speaking pace, which can reduce stuttering and make it easier for others to understand. Once the child no longer stutters, gradually increase the speaking speed. 2. Have the child speak in a lower volume, as speaking softly can prevent stuttering. 3. For the first word of each phrase, gently encourage the child to pronounce it slowly and softly, then smoothly glide to the second word. This is because children who stutter often find it difficult to pronounce the first word of a phrase.
