Question
How should one handle a child’s stuttering?
Answer
Ensure that dinner is eaten at a regular time, ensuring enough deep sleep and rest. Encourage children to listen to fluent, melodious, concise, and clear speech. Parents can lead their children in reading together with a natural demeanor. Be patient and careful in conversations with your child, demonstrating more than correcting, to completely alleviate their psychological pressure. Allow them to self-regulate and self-correct comfortably during the speaking process. When conversing with the child, the pace can be slowed down significantly. If the child does not respond immediately, do not rush to remind them. Parents should naturally continue speaking with full attention, allowing the child to immerse themselves in a natural conversation atmosphere without emphasizing their own stammering. Over time, the psychological pressure caused by the stuttering will be alleviated or even completely eliminated.
