Patient's question:
The baby started talking later, not speaking until he was almost two years old. Although he can speak now, he doesn't form very long sentences—usually just four or five words. Recently, we've noticed he has a slight stutter, mainly at the beginning of words. We have been correcting him.Doctor's answer:
1. When the baby stutters when speaking, never scold him loudly. It is necessary to guide him patiently, not to be impatient, and to have confidence and patience.2. Conduct language training for the baby. Pay attention to practicing pronunciation only when the muscles are relaxed. Let the baby slow down his speaking speed, extend the speaking time, and repeat the training.
3. Temporarily separate the baby from other children who stutter to avoid mutual influence.
4. For babies who are left-handed, do not force them to use their right hand.
