How to regulate and alleviate stuttering?

Patient's question:

I found that I have a nephew who seems to have some stuttering. Now that he's starting to talk, he always stutters and finds it hard to complete a sentence. How can stuttering be regulated? How can it be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

When it comes to stuttering, it is essential to focus on building confidence. The more nervous a person becomes while speaking, the more difficult it is to articulate words. Encouragement should be given to the child in abundance. Second, it is important to teach the child to pay attention to their speech mannerisms, especially opening their mouth wide and speaking slowly. The main focus should be on speaking clearly, slowly, and in an organized manner. Engage in regular conversations and discussions. Stuttering requires speech training, and at the beginning, it is crucial to speak loudly. This has two benefits: the first is to boost confidence, and the second is to help with standard and clear speech.
