Question
Recently, due to busy work, my physical condition has gradually declined, accompanied by insomnia and decreased appetite. Occasionally, I experience language disorders. After hospital examination, I was diagnosed with childhood stuttering. How should I handle this?
Answer
Hello, for stuttering issues, both behavioral therapy and medication have limited effects at present. If the child has not shown improvement by the age of four, the situation may be more challenging. First, help the child overcome their psychological fear. When the child stutters, parents should avoid scolding and not arbitrarily interrupt or correct them. Instead, communicate with the child as if you haven’t noticed, encourage them to slow down their speaking pace, and cultivate the habit of reading and singing, which can also help improve stuttering.
