How should children with stuttering be treated?

Patient's question:

My child has a congenital stutter, so this symptom has been present since the child was born. But how should the stutter be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The congenital stuttering in children is usually treated through speech therapy, as traditional methods for correcting congenital stuttering in children involve surgery. During the treatment period, it is essential to give children enough confidence, and never scold them while correcting the stuttering. Additionally, avoid frequently undermining their self-confidence, as this may lead to a lack of confidence during practice, thereby potentially affecting the recovery outcome. This condition also requires the application of the Shintai therapy for correction.
