Question

Since the end of 2008, when my daughter was born and until April, June, August, and October of 2009, she never landed from a height of 60 centimeters to 20 centimeters without crying. However, she would quickly recover: cry, not faint, but with weak legs. Now, my daughter: sees something and immediately picks it up to eat. Is this a sign of childhood stuttering?

Answer

When communicating with a child who stutters, there are several points to keep in mind:

  1. Maintain a relaxed conversation atmosphere and pause for a few seconds before speaking. Using casual words is more effective than criticism or suggestions (for example, using words like “slow” and “again”).
  2. Reduce the number of questions to make the child more comfortable expressing their opinions rather than answering questions.
  3. When the child stutters, use facial expressions and body language to communicate with them, showing that you are listening to their content without caring about what they say.
