Question
A friend often goes out for social events, where drinking, smoking, and overeating are hard to avoid. Recently, they’ve noticed their child showing signs of stuttering and are worried if it’s a case of childhood stuttering. How should one deal with this situation?
Answer
Stuttering is not limited to children; adults can also experience this condition. It is recommended that parents train their children to speak at a slower pace during daily activities, such as reading together with the child, where the adult reads at a slow pace for the child to follow and learn from. Over time, this not only enhances the child’s knowledge but also helps them adjust their speaking speed. Wishing you the best in achieving your wishes and for your child to grow up healthy. Stuttering has existed since humans began using language and can be seen as one of the social phenomena. Although people are aware of stuttering, there is still a lack of understanding of its essence and developmental patterns. Conventional methods often fail to effectively overcome stuttering and may even lead to further difficulties.
