How to psychologically treat children who stutter

  Stuttering is a psychological disorder, therefore, the correction of stuttering should start with psychotherapy, focusing on removing the child’s psychological barriers. There is another situation that parents should pay attention to: the child’s infrequent, brief repetition of speech or verbal pauses should not be regarded as stuttering disorder, and will heal on its own as it grows older and develops intellectually. At this time, parents should not face their children with a nervous look, or even reprimand him “how to talk like that”, which increases the child’s psychological pressure and really leads to stuttering disorder.  The sooner you correct children’s stuttering, the better. The following methods can be used: 1, more children to listen to the smooth expression, beautiful voice, simple and clear language. Such as children’s stories, young children’s poetry, etc. Parents can naturally follow the child to speak and read together.  2, correct demonstration. Parents patiently and carefully talk more with their children, more demonstration, less correction, eliminate the child’s psychological pressure, so that he can easily self-regulate and self-correction from the psychological in the process of speaking.  3, talk to your child when the speed can be slowed down a bit. If the child does not pick up for a while, do not rush to remind, parents can naturally and cast continue to say, so that the child immersed in the atmosphere of natural conversation, not to strengthen the psychological attention to whether they stutter, over time, the psychological pressure brought about by stuttering will ease or even eliminate. On the contrary, “Look, why are you stuttering again! Can’t you think clearly and finish a sentence at once?” Such a corrective approach by parents precisely strengthens the psychological pressure on the child to speak.  4. Help your child establish confidence in correcting his or her stuttering. Try to get the little ones not to laugh at him, show patience and confidence in the child, and don’t be impatient.  If you can do the above points, stuttering can basically be alleviated and corrected.
