How does the baby stutter?

In fact, for the baby who has just learned to speak, It is normal to stutter a little. This is actually related to the characteristics of children’s speech development. When children first learn to speak, Often hesitate or repeat the same words and syllables. For example: They often use vague syllables when changing words or thinking, This is called stuttering, such as [er] [ah] [hmm]. Moreover, children are especially prone to stuttering sometimes, such as when they feel nervous, tired, excited, anxious, in a hurry to speak, talking about new or complicated topics, and when they feel pressure to answer questions. Some difficult pronunciations are especially prone to stuttering. Should the situation in what be taken seriously? If the child only stutters occasionally, don’t worry too much. However, parents may need to pay attention if the following situations occur: the child doesn’t seem to like to speak very much, such as blinking, swinging his head and avoiding eye contact with others; After 6 months of unsmooth speech, there is still no improvement. Children’s speech is becoming more and more difficult. The first syllable is always repeated more than 3 times: [Xi-Xi-Xi… Xiao Mao.] When a word is stuck, children often change the normal vowel to [a], such as [smash-smash-smash… bicycle] or [ah-ah-ah… cat]. What should I do? Above all, Don’t put too much pressure on the child, First, let the child speak easily and freely. And then we’ll think about it. At the same time, Parents can also take the following measures: Record a speech diary: It can better help parents find out what their children are talking about.

Don’t interrupt the child: To correct the child’s pronunciation, you can repeat it with the correct pronunciation after the child has finished speaking.
