Answer
Parents should create a pleasant and peaceful environment for a child who stutters, completely eliminating their mental burden and increasing the opportunities for stuttering. When the child stutters, do not deliberately imitate or mock them, nor should you let others pay excessive attention to the child’s speech defects. Avoid showing impatience or rudely interrupting the child while they are speaking. Parents should provide more comfort and encouragement, acting as if nothing is wrong, and guide the child to speak more slowly and softly.
