How To Communicate If Your Child Stutters

By Etta Bowen


The relationship between children and their parents is one of the most important ones in society. Moms and dads all across America usually want to know what their kids are thinking. One of the easiest ways for them to do that is by speaking to them. Basic tasks such as teaching your child how to cook or how to ride a bicycle are made easier by speech. Read on to learn how to communicate if your child stutters.

Several famous people have successfully established careers in areas that relied on good communication. They did this even though they struggled with speech impediments in their childhood. A parent can help to prepare their child for a successful career in whatever they choose to do by teaching them to be confident.

People who are trying to help a younger person who has difficulties with stuttering may unknowingly do things that are counter productive. For example, they may advise their kid to slow down. This does not work and instead, it makes the child anxious about pleasing you. That worsens the problem. It is better to practice good habits in your own life, showing your youngster what to do.

If your son or daughter tends to stutter, make sure you speak to them at a pace that is unhurried. This does not mean you should speak really slowly, as though you think they cannot understand what you are saying. Just speak at a moderate rate. People who naturally speak quickly may find it difficult to adjust to this at first but with time you will find a perfect tempo for your youngster.

For several years, it was thought that rushing through conversation showed that a person had mastered the power of speech. However, it is now known that interruptions and pauses have a vital role to play in communication. Make sure you use pauses in the right places when speaking to your kid and pay attention to them as well with other people.

Breathing is an important part of speaking. However, when you rush, you may not get enough oxygen every time you inhale. This actually puts your body under pressure and is not beneficial. For your own health and that of the person you are speaking with, practice pausing. It allows both parties to think and process ideas properly.

When your little one speaks, do not respond immediately. Wait for a few seconds and then reply. Listening is an important skill. Waiting for a bit before you respond gives you time to really think about what the other person has said. You teach your children how important listening is and show them that what they have said is important when you wait.

Ask your youngster less questions. Most kids speak more freely when they are sharing their own ideas. They restrict themselves when they answer questions, in the attempt to make sure they stick to what the other person has asked. You should always try to give your children opportunities to speak freely and share what is on their minds.
