Patient's question:
Around the past two weeks or so, I started noticing that my son has been stuttering, repeating the first one or two words of his sentences several times. I told him to speak slowly, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I asked the teacher at his kindergarten, and she said there are no children with stuttering in the class and that my son doesn't show any signs of stuttering at kindergarten.Doctor's answer:
Child stuttering is mainly related to the underdevelopment of the child's language center. It is recommended to strengthen language communication and avoid the child's contact with stutterers. The best way to eliminate stuttering is naturally. When the child is talking to you, you should listen attentively to avoid making them nervous. Letting the child "slow down" or repeat will only increase the sense of tension. You should naturally respond to what the child says and learn to speak in a relaxed and natural manner.
