Question

A boy, 8 years old, has a bit of a stutter. It was okay when he was younger, but it started in kindergarten and has become a bit severe. He has not been to a hospital for consultation.

Answer

Hello, if a child stutters, it mainly depends on timely correction and training by the family, and the pediatric health department of the hospital can also provide some assistance. It is suggested that parents should not be anxious. When the child stutters while speaking, do not scold the child. You can distract his attention, encourage him to speak, tell him, “Don’t worry, little one, take your time,” and in daily life, encourage the child more often and give him more love.
