Hi doctor,
My daughter is 2 years and 8 months old and she has been stuttering a lot for the last four months. Initially, it used to come and go but in the last three weeks we have noticed it very constant and she is struggling a lot to speak. She never used to have this problem before and she is a very talkative person. We wanted to know if this is temporary or it will be permanent and do we need to go for any speech therapy now.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Being parents overprotective is a common phenomenon that is observed. Do not point out the mistake like you have pause, oh see you struggled, by this the little one will be more conscious and surely avoid talking. Better talk to her in a normal way. Follow these points.
1. Tell her to inhale then say two to three words then again inhale to say some more.
2. Finger tapping while saying, one word one tap.
3. Tell her to count backward (20,19,18, etc).
4. Tell her to stop where she is feeling problem without trying to say it with stress. Stop then relax again start saying.
Most important: It is not stuttering, it is a part of developmental process called normal non-fluency.
