Question

My child is 3 years and 2 months old, but they still can’t speak clearly. I don’t know why… it’s just mumbled. Is it because they’re still too young, or do they have a stuttering problem?

Answer

Focus on the child’s language training to enhance interpersonal communication; to master more vocabulary and improve expressive ability; parents themselves should pay attention to their language expression, setting a correct learning example for the child. For those who have already developed a stutter, based on age characteristics, choose simple, easy-to-sing songs with slower speeds and melodious tunes, and listen to music (preferably instrumental music without lyrics) as much as possible. This will help them adapt to and accept the speed and rhythm of music, facilitate the transition from singing to speaking, and gradually eliminate the stuttering defect, making language expression more fluent and natural.
