Question
My baby suddenly started to stutter, it’s very serious. The first word takes half a minute to say, and sometimes they can’t say it at all. This has never happened before, and I’m worried if it’s genetic from my grandfather.
Answer
Stuttering is a language disorder that may be related to genetics or brain dysfunction, or it could be caused by psychological factors. It is recommended to take the child to a doctor promptly for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatment methods may include general treatment, professional language therapy, or psychological therapy. Early detection and treatment can help the child better regain fluent speech ability.
