Patient's question:
My child has had a stuttering problem since they were young. My friend has been trying to get the child treated, but after using many methods, the results haven't been very noticeable. So, the family members are quite anxious. That's why I wanted to learn about the causes of stuttering in children and what methods should be used for treatment today.Doctor's answer:
Children stuttering is a phenomenon of a thick tongue, which is caused by a short lingual frenulum. This can be corrected by having the frenulum clipped at the hospital. Of course, such a condition may also be caused by a series of factors such as learning from others, language training, psychological barriers, etc. In cases like this, it is important to correct the child's speech method moderately. During the correction process, avoid deliberately pointing out the child's mistakes. Just encourage the child to speak slowly, and gradually, the issue can be corrected.
