Fluency
Fluency disorders affect the child’s ability to communicate ideas without excessive repetitions and hesitations. Fluency disorders are also known as stuttering. Here are some ways you can help your child if they stutter:
Speak with your child in an unhurried way, pausing often. Wait a few seconds after your child finishes speaking for your begin to speak.
Reduce the number of question you ask your child. Children speak more freely if they are expressing their own ideas rather than answering questions. Simply comment on what your child has said instead.
Set aside a few minutes at a regular time each day when you can give your child your undivided attention. Let your child choose what to do. When you talk during this special time, use slow, calm, and relaxed speech.
Help all members of the family learn to take turns talking and listening.
