When children first start learning to speak, they often experience stuttering, which can make parents very anxious and worried, thinking that their child's stuttering may last for a lifetime, so they are very troubled. In fact, it is very common for children aged 2-5 to experience a certain degree of stuttering when they first start learning to speak. Can a child's stutter heal on its own?
Can children recover from stuttering on their own
Children aged 2-5 are prone to temporary stuttering, which usually disappears automatically as their oral skills improve. During the peak period of speech in children, there may be repeated sounds and interrupted sentences, which is a natural phenomenon in the development process of children. As children mature, most of them can naturally correct them.
It is suggested that children should slow down their pace when narrating things, say more nursery rhymes, and not overly remind or focus on their stuttering. The child will soon improve, and if parents overly focus and remind them, it will only reinforce their stuttering. Encourage children as much as possible.
The harm of children stuttering
1. Affects personality. Stuttering and shaking one's head while speaking can often lead to ridicule, and over time, stuttering sufferers will become silent, depressed, and introverted due to fear of speaking. Their personalities will also tend to be conservative, introverted, and withdrawn.
2. Affects the future. Stuttering patients often speak incoherently and unclearly, unable to pass the exams for further education, college entrance examination, promotion, and recruitment interviews. Even if they barely pass the exams, they still face many more difficulties than normal people in the future, greatly reducing their original bright future.
3. Affects life. Stuttering patients often speak hesitantly, without conveying their intended meaning, with incoherent speech before and after. Some even find it difficult to say hello, unable to bargain when shopping, hesitant to answer phone calls, and unable to engage in romantic relationships.
This article provides a detailed introduction to whether children's stuttering can be cured on their own, as well as the hazards of children's stuttering. As a parent of a child who experiences stuttering, you must treat your child's stuttering correctly, actively encourage them, and not blame or scold your own child. In fact, children's stuttering problems can generally heal on their own.
