Children from the age of 1 to 3 are an important stage in language development. During this period, children are able to develop from a single word at the beginning to a complete sentence. During the period of language development, parents most hope that their children can speak fluently what they want to say. But if you encounter a child stuttering, you will be very worried. Why does the child suddenly stutter?
1. Pressure. The competition in today's society is becoming increasingly fierce, and many parents have already made plans for their children when they are still young, either attending one class or another. If strict parents notice that their children are not performing well, they may put even more pressure on them because under immense pressure, their children's language may become less fluent.
2. Emotions. The child's emotional control is completely immature. If the child lives in a family with immense pressure and anxiety all day long, the anxious emotions can also affect the child, making them prone to stuttering.
3. Imitation. Children between the ages of 1-3 are very fond of imitating. If they see someone stuttering on TV, they may find it amusing and imitate. Although the stuttering they imitate is not a real stutter, it may develop into a habit over time.
4. Coordination of speech muscles. In fact, speaking relies on the oral language muscles. If the oral muscles do not develop well, it will affect the coordination of speech. For example, adding complementary foods too late or frequently consuming foods that do not require chewing can affect the coordination of oral muscles.
