Question
My child has been stuttering since they were little. My friends have been trying to treat it, but the results haven’t been very noticeable. So, our family is quite anxious. Therefore, I want to learn more about what causes childhood stuttering and what treatment methods should be used?
Answer
Stuttering in children is a common phenomenon, which may be caused by factors such as a large tongue or a short frenulum. You can go to the hospital for frenotomy to correct this condition. Additionally, stuttering may also be caused by learning from others, language training, psychological disorders, and a series of other phenomena. In this case, you can moderately correct your child’s speech patterns, but do not point out to the child; just let the child speak slowly, and gradually the stuttering problem can be corrected.
