Early detection can reduce childhood stuttering
Stuttering is common in childhood and typically appears between the ages of two and five years. It is a neurological speech fluency disorder that may result from genetic or psychological factors such as stress and trauma. Symptoms include the child's hesitations while speaking, repetitions of sounds or syllables, silent pauses, and sometimes accompanying behaviors like body movements or thigh tapping. It can lead to anxiety, social withdrawal, and low self-esteem. Often, stuttering resolves on its own, but early diagnosis by a speech therapist is essential to prevent the condition from worsening. Treatments include reducing speech pressure and developing a fun and smooth speaking style.
