Question

How can I treat my child’s stuttering? My child has recently started to have a stuttering problem, what should we do?

Answer

When you discover that your child has a stuttering issue, parents should take the following steps:

  1. Do not become overly anxious or critical about your child’s stuttering, as this can increase their stress.
  2. Conduct language training to help your child slow down their speaking pace, reducing speaking pressure.
  3. Avoid exposing your child to other children with a stutter to prevent mutual influence.
  4. Children who are right-handed should not be forced to switch to using their left hand.
