language develops in humans since the first cry and then move rapidly throughout the long period of childhood. All the variety of stimuli that surround the child, the desire for exploration and curiosity are reflected in the normal desire to ask questions and, consequently, to communicate. This form of communication can become incessant and sometimes more of the real communication skills.
In this view could be facing the stuttering that is part of that category called "language disorder".
The problem stems from the difficulty of the child to quickly find the right words to express the concepts that overlap in his mind and wants to communicate, the difficulty lies in the fact that the speed with which his thoughts run is much higher than its ability to express them in words. This difficulty arises, too, for the birth of a sibling, for problems between parents, separations or bereavement in the family.
This phenomenon, which falls under the category of primary stuttering (apparent and transient, characterized by physiological and normal disfluencies, intermittent hesitations, repetitions, syllabic), tends to resolve spontaneously (usually in a few months), in fact, the language disorder of 3-5 years is very different from what occurs in school age (where it should intervene with a competent professional help with speech therapy in stuttering), and yet different from that of 'adulthood.
Parents are never prepared for this event because it begins suddenly, but you can definitely follow these guidelines:
- do not stop the small talk and asked him to repeat what I said incorrectly to avoid embarrass him;
- not replace the child in completing the sentence or word
- do not tell him to calm down the anxiety increases
otherwise - do not lose patience and do not scold him for errors because he is not guilty
- not fun as this show also would not be an incentive for the child to correct
In essence, then, armed with "holy patience," listen to the child forward without any negative emotion of discomfort and / or discomfort, articulate words well when addressing the child so that, listening to the sound of words, I can repeat correcting itself.
Exclusively with school age you can 'take, if the noise persists, consider referral to a speech therapist. In fact, before school age, can be reduced to a very common phenomenon, especially in boys (affects 3% of children, particularly males).
