Patient's question:
My baby is deliberately mimicking children and has developed stuttering, so I would like to consult: How should childhood stuttering be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described above: stuttering is a common language disorder in children, characterized by speech disfluency, blockage, and repetition. Children are prone to stutter again between the ages of 2-3 because the things they have seen are numerous, but their vocabulary control is relatively limited. When they urgently want to express something but cannot find the appropriate words in a moment, and their speech organs have not yet fully developed, it is easy to develop stuttering.Treatment for a child's stuttering requires parents to first identify the underlying cause. They must provide patient guidance and avoid harsh criticism. It is also crucial not to imitate or repeat the child's stuttering, nor to suppress their opportunities to speak. Encourage them to speak more confidently, build their confidence, and gradually help them improve.
