How should parents handle the situation when their 1.5-year-old child begins to stutter?

A child is speaking with a stutter and has been diagnosed with a language development disorder after a hospital check-up. How should parents respond?

When a child starts to stutter around the age of two, it is a common manifestation of dyslexia, a typical issue in language development.

A child’s unclear speech might be due to a short frenulum, and it is recommended to undergo a check-up and consider surgery to cut it.

A sudden stuttering in a child may be due to imitative behavior or external pressure. It’s recommended to observe and communicate more with the child, avoiding scolding.

If a one-year-old baby hasn’t started speaking, it might be due to a short frenulum, which generally doesn’t affect language development. However, it’s recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.

Children’s language development varies by gender, typically boys speak later than girls. Parents should communicate more with their children to promote language development.
