Marina -> My child suddenly started stuttering at the age of five.
There were no obvious reasons for this. I read here on the site that stuttering can be caused by heredity, but no one in our family ever stuttered. When I didn't see how many people I didn't know that it was somehow passed on by inheritance.
As for fear, stress - there was once a time when he was afraid of a dog, but the fear was not that big.
There were never any serious illnesses either. It is still not clear why the stuttering occurred.
It is possible that this is age-related and transient, but other children do not have this.
liberakatnem -> the child is 3 years old, he started stuttering. I don't even know what to do. Maybe there are some methods or something else, and in general, which doctor is better to consult, and is it necessary. About two weeks ago he started stuttering. We suspect that he was scared of something, I don't know exactly what. And it's getting stronger and stronger, he himself understands and starts to get scared ... I'm afraid that this will develop into a serious illness. How can I help? Please help......
Natnim -> The fear may seem small to you, but for the child, as you can see.
The most important thing is not to feel sorry, but to support (I experienced this myself).
Try Strelnikova's gymnastics. I downloaded a video course from the Internet, a student of Strelnikova tells and shows everything in detail. And you need to do this with your child.
Don't leave him alone with this disease.
It is also advisable to show the speech therapist and neurologist. That is, to use complex treatment.
