How to treat childhood stuttering

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Three and a half years old. The child has a stuttering phenomenon when answering questions. It is better at home and more severe outside.
Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: What should be paid attention to in daily life, how to treat.

Doctor's answer:

Most cases of childhood stuttering are caused by deliberate imitation of similar behaviors during the process of postnatal growth and development. The main approach requires parents to work together and avoid intentionally stuttering when communicating with the child, creating a normal communication environment for them. At the same time, it is important to promptly address the child's stuttering but not be too harsh, to prevent psychological impact. When a child feels anxious, they may unconsciously stutter. Parents should help build the child's confidence and encourage them more.
