Question
Is it normal for a child to have pauses or repetitions in their speech?
Answer
Disfluencies in a child’s speech can be caused by physiological reasons (such as issues with the vocal cords or bands) or psychological factors (such as being overly tense when speaking). If there are no physiological issues, parents can help improve the situation by adjusting the child’s speaking pace and tone. Additionally, avoid interrupting or correcting the child too much, as this may increase their psychological pressure.
