Train your kid to think about every sentence before saying any words. That will make him/her patient. The confidence is important too. When you are scared of someone there are times you can't pronounce words, so be your child's best friend at this moment. |

Stop beating or slapping the child everytime the child says something disapproved of. It makes them unsure of speaking and then fear causes distraction to their flow of speech as their head is filled with images of being slapped or beaten for what they have spoken. Perhaps kind and gentle sessions of giving the child proper things to say and making the child recite them. Perhaps have the child memorize a paragraph of useful and good things to say, and have the child positively encouraged to recite the paragraphs for you daily. Not read them. But recite them off head. Teach the child some happy things to recite and do it in ways that do not scare the child nor involve beating or slapping. If the child can read, then let the child read a paragraph or sentence silently and memorize it. Then to recite it to you everyday under the conditions of not being pressured with fear of being slapped, beaten or verbally acosted. Even if one word at a time and then move to two at a time and then three and more. Also look for key words around which the stammering is more present. Sometimes it is even a key letter, such as stammering only with words that contain a certain letter or certains letters. Then use those key words as primary focus in speech practice. At 5 years of age; now is the time to do speech lessons and even add more subjects to the lessons to make an above-average intelligence child. Even if the stammering is not caused by fear, using fear to break the stammering is not going to make it easier. Some cases of stammering are caused by fear that derails areas of focus neeeded for fluid speech. It could be complicating to have beatings, slaps and verbal accosting attempted to stop the stammering. Not good if beatings, slaps and verbal accostings were the causse of the stammering from day one. Rasing children can be hard for those who are too busy making a living and keeping the house in order. If you can find time for gentle speech practice, it can work wonders. Maybe just 30 minutes a day. |

I was a terrible stammerer as a kid. But when a corper told me that I should learn to sing songs and to talk slowly, it helped and the stammering STOPPED. Now I even preach,give business presentation flawlessly. Let.your.sing a lot, speak slowly, read books it will help. Queen Elizabeth's last son stammers a bit so he speaks slowly. |

i also stammer but that's when i'm angry or in a haste to say something and some times when i lack confidence believe me most stammerers had already completed what they wanted to say in their mind but to say it out is the prob..tell him to talk slowly and impact some confidence in him moreover u can let him drink from clean snail shell or clean bell. |

It will go away with time if you heed to all the relaxed advices given here. For those that administered reset slap I pray you all to have a child who stammers chronically so would know if slaps and scolding works. It shall surely come your way now or later in life. 1 Like |

dundunni01: The only way i believe this can work out fine is when you allow him to talk slowly. As in one word at a time. Do not allow him to give a fast reply. Do not scare him, always be calm with him. Its works. |

STAMMERING IS CAUSED WHEN WANT TO SPEAK TOO MUCH WORDS WITHIN A VERY SHORT TIME LIKE WITHIN 1 SECOND. TO HELP UR CHILD, ENGAGE HIM ALWAYS IN A CONVERSATION WITH U VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN HE WAKES UP AND LATE AT NIGHT BEFORE HE SLEEPS, AND ANYTIME HE TRIES TO STAMMER DURING A SPEECH......... TELL HIM TO TAKE A DEEP BREATHE (BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT X 5 TIMES) THEN HE CONTINUES WITH HIS STATEMENT. HAD THAT EXPERIENCE WHEN GROWING UP..... BUT WAS ABLE TO OVER COME IT WITH THE HELP OF MY FATHER. THAT WAS THE METHOD HE USED ON ME. WHEN YOUR CHILD GETS USED TO THIS METHOD.... HE WILL AUTOMATICALLY CORRECTS HIMSELF ANYTIME HE TRIES TO STAMMER DURING A SPEECH BY TAKING A DEEP BREATHE. USE THIS METHOD AND THANK ME LATER (08068750528) PARENTS ARE THE BEST SPEECH THERAPIST. |

dundunni01: Hi dear, there is a huge chance that you can still correct your child's speech defect. But first you have to find out the root cause of this problem. Does any body in your family's genealogy stutter? Does your child associate with stutterers at school? Solution Provide an incentive: Children are likelier to make greater improvement in accomplishing a task when a carrot is dangling at the other end. Establish a reward mechanism where you will reward him as he stutters less with each utterance. Breath regulation: teach him how to control his breath with each speech he makes. He should take it slowly with voicing out the words. Do not scold him: no matter how bad his stuttering his do not scold or beat him. You will only be hurting him on two fronts if you do this; break his self-esteem and exacerbate the stuttering. Just be patient with him as he speak. Disassociate him from his stuttering friends: children are highly impressionable and as such, a friend's habit can easily rub off on them. If they have a friend that stammers, try as much as possible to minimize if not break contact. Give him time: most stuttering children outgrows this condition as they age. I once stuttered so badly as a child that I barely utter a word in the midst of my peers. Today I have outgrown it and can speak fluently (though not 100%). Just be patient and encourage him as he undergoes any of the recovery processes above. If any of them doesn't work you should look for a speech therapist. Godspeed. 2 Likes |

Overcoming stammering has to do with advancement in age and mastering your breath when you are about to speak. It might shock you but the mastering of breath technique has proved very efficacious. Let ur speech come out the same time u are about to breathe out...it is barely audible but you will be audible when you repeat it and without stammering too. You need to hear me speak between the ages of 3-15, i was a very bad stammerer but this simple technique introduced to me by a senior student cured me. 1 Like |

dundunni01: My son was a stammerer too. We used the lidcombe language therapy. Of course we had a therapist guiding and teaching us, but the everyday exercises, encouragement etc was down to me and my son. You can research and see if you can do this by yourself. Happy to chip in and help out. Ps. He was about 4/5 too and i can he was stammer free in about 6months. He is now 10years old but i can still remember the process etc 1 Like |

am a stammerer from childhood a very chronic one before I could say a word is problem hitting my leg on the floor and beating my self with my hand before I could say a word, but now am talking perfectly without stammerer the logic i apply is just simple, don't get angry, talk slowly that's it all, but as for him he's not adult yet it will take him time but u will be the one as a mother to guide him to do that till he grows up to apply the conditions by him self. I wish him quick recovery by God grace. 2 Likes |

dundunni01:wow, what a child, do not slap the child as proffered by the first two commenters, show him/her support, correct the child by telling him to repeat the words he stuttered on, as he grow older he will conquer it. I was a chronic stammering, attimes I even hit my head on the wall when I was 8, if I see someone intimidating a stammerer infact I don buy d case ooo, just take it easy on the child please. |

Tell him to calm down when talking and he should always speak slowly. I use to be a stammerer. Instead of stammering, i pause, organize my sentences and speak slowly and gently. It helped. |
