Patient's question:
Recently, I have been working overtime every day, which has led to my health deteriorating. I often have insomnia, and my appetite is getting worse day by day. Sometimes I experience speech disorganization. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was childhood stuttering. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, currently, for stuttering or behavioral therapy, the effectiveness of medication is not significant. If the child does not improve after the age of 4, it will become more challenging. First, help the child overcome psychological fear. Once the child stutters, parents should not blame or arbitrarily disturb or correct the child, as if they haven't heard. Communicate with the child normally, tell the child to slow down as much as possible, and give the child some habits of reading and singing. This program is also very helpful.
