Question

A 2-year-old child who used to speak clearly has suddenly started to stutter. How should it be treated?

Answer

The treatment methods for stuttering include:

  1. Relieving tension during speaking and eliminating adverse stimuli.
  2. Strengthening speech training.
  3. Not overthinking before speaking, speaking slowly, and making expression more natural. It is recommended to reduce speaking when feeling tense or anticipating a stutter to decrease the frequency of stuttering, thereby diminishing the conditioned reflex of stuttering. Additionally, there are various correction methods for stuttering, and patients can try various approaches. Many stuttering patients have achieved good results through these methods.
