What is stuttering? Stuttering is a condition in which a person’s speech fluency is impaired. Patients often stutter by pausing, repeating, and delaying certain words, syllables, and sentences. Most stuttering develops during preschool or school age, with a peak around age 5. Stuttering is an important speech disorder, with a worldwide prevalence of about 1% and about 10 million people in China who stutter, and is higher in males than females. Stuttering does not affect IQ, and there were many famous people in ancient China who had stuttering problems, such as the famous jurist Han Feizi. Therefore, people who “stutter” are not necessarily dull, but on the contrary may be very intelligent. From this point of view, stuttering should not be discriminated against and ridiculed, but needs to be tolerated and accepted by people around. The effects of stuttering: In everyday life, we often see many people stuttering when they speak, such as when they are excited, fearful or lying, especially when they are overly stressed. Patients who stutter are quite painful, leading to low self-esteem and sensitivity, reluctance to socialize, reluctance to contact the outside world, serious people will suffer from social phobia. The reasons for stuttering: 1, impatient personality stuttering children tend to be impatient, easily excited, emotionally unstable, impulsive, speak without thinking, speak out of turn, inevitably incoherent language, repetition, stammering. 2, lack of expressive ability children do not understand words deeply, the statement of things can not be organized, so while talking stammering, repetition, stammering. 3, heavy psychological pressure parents or teachers to answer questions, because they do not know or dare not say resulting in stuttering. 4, inappropriate language training some parents feel that children speak stammering fun, so they tease the child like teaching continuous pronunciation of “he ……” sound, repeatedly can form a stammer. 5, imitate others children watch TV some anime programs, or TV series actor characters shaped as stuttering, they are curious to imitate, and developed a bad habit. 6, too strict tutoring some parents talk to their children with a stern face, do the wrong thing to blame the fight, the usual lack of communication, so that children see their parents are afraid, and often stammering and stammering when talking to parents. Prevention of stuttering is more important than treatment: 1. Expand the vocabulary of young children. When young children have a larger vocabulary, their ability to express themselves verbally is strengthened. It is wise to teach your child new words and use your child’s existing vocabulary to explain them. For example, “What is a shadow”? Instead of saying that an image is caused by the outline of an object that does not transmit light, you can say: A shadow is a picture painted by the sun. And let it stand under the sun and experience the masterpiece of the sun. At this point, although the definition is not exact, but with the maturity of the child, this definition will be constantly improved. 2. Consciously control the speed of your child’s speech. It is often the case that you talk to someone who speaks very fast, you can’t help but be influenced by him to speed up the speed of speech. Therefore, consciously control the speed of your child’s speech, using their own language, is not to tell your child to “slow down to speak”, but in the parents to set an example. 3, when the child speaks, there are some ungrammatical errors, do not rush to correct. Frequent corrections can cause stuttering. It should be recognized that the fluency of a child’s language is more important than the correctness of grammatical rules. 4. Avoid intentionally or unintentionally putting pressure on your child. For example, ask the child to imitate the adult’s tone of voice; if the child does not like it, parents should try not to let the child recite children’s songs and poems in public. 5. Pay attention to the timing and manner of asking questions to your child. For example, if the child is covered in dirt, parents should not rush to understand what is going on, but should ask questions while cleaning the child, while making requests. You should not ask your child to admit his mistakes without asking questions. 6, let the child enjoy the warmth of the family, give due sense of security. If the environment changes will cause a certain psychological impact on the child.
