STUTTERING
Stella, you are doing a good job......
To my issue, I have a son that will be 4 years in June, so just last three weeks he started stuttering (stammering) and is serious one that he hardly make one sentence freely. This is affecting him that at times he will start crying when he is trying to speak even his education is affected because if he wants to recite A B C he will start normally then close his mouth as if he doesnt know it and I'm worried and confused I dont know what to do.
Please I need advice from doctors (speech therapist) and mothers on how to go about this. Thanks.
NB: Nobody in mine or my husband family stammers.

ReplyDeleteYou need to take him to see a therapist.
ReplyDeleteCheck if he's being bullied as well.
Yes bloglord is right,if he used to talk normally and this just started then there's a problem.make sure no1 is making him uncomfortable in school,also eliminate any form of abuse(u know wht I mean) children react differently to these things, make sure ure patient with him wen he tries to talk,ask him to slow down n relax,take d words one @a time and yes seek d services of a speech therapist
DeletePerhaps he picked it up from school. Make inquiries for a speech therapist asap before it becomes permanent
ReplyDeleteI guess he picked it up from school or people he relates with often. Go to the school and find out those he interacts with over there.It's just a little tick and you pick it oh. My brothers when they were kids used to practice it because our neighbour happened to stutter. Like joke they became chronic and over time my folks stopped them from going there. Gradually, it reduced to the barest minimum.
ReplyDeleteSince yours has already picked it or has it, try to be patient with him while letting out words. Your frustration will not help him at alllllll. Teach him to always breathe in when the words hook. It helps them a lot to get them flowing. Good luck
Maybe you need to take a trip to his school or watch the people around your son children tend to pick up several habits at his age. Just take it easy with him and correct him lovingly don't scold him over it he will drop the habit. He must have so somebody stuttering around him.

ReplyDeleteRelax madam. A good speech therapist will get him to make talk freely ok. It's well.
ReplyDeleteGod will see you through as you take him to see a therapist.

ReplyDeleteHe needs to see a specialist in that area. Since it just started 3weeks ago. Maybe something caused it and it needs to be detected early before it will get worse n affect him psychologically.
ReplyDeleteAfter taking him to a therapist, have a warm chat with him to know if he's being bullied somewhere or scared of something you may not know about. It is well.
ReplyDeleteYea thats true. A speech therapist will help, if u can't afford it be very patient and encourage him to take his time and show him love.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteKeep ur calm
He just started stuttering 3wks ago, meaning it's not necessarily a developmental disorder , thus u should ve seen the signs earlier.
The boy child tends to be slow in speech , so must appear timid, with time perhaps bonding with his closest pal or sibling would bring him out of this.
In the mean time, see a speech therapist and a pediatrician( specialist).
All the best .
He must be learning the trait from someone in his school. Check to see of anyone of his classmates stammers
ReplyDeletespeech therapist
ReplyDeleteAnd Wher do they find these speech therapists, are they on blogs? Na naija we dey o
DeleteUsually causes by low self esteem. Either you or someone else runs the boy down with derogatory words and it has affected his morale, confidence and speech. He may be bullied at school as well
ReplyDeleteDts serious! I remembered when I was little, dose ppl dt mimic my stammering started to stammer real bad. Maybe dts what happened to ur son. Meet a speech therapy now dt he is young, bc d last time I checked, am still a stammerer till now but with style sha. He can be tot hw to manage it ok, Don't panic much.
ReplyDeleteTie a frog to his neck, simple and effective!
ReplyDeleteWhy so sudden?
ReplyDelete1. Speech therapist
ReplyDelete2. I hope he isn't being bullied or picked on by his peers or a teacher
3. He may have a friend who stammers and is trying to emulate him. My little cousin did this, until e mama slap the tin comot
It is well.....I think you need to ask questions from the school first then you know what to do
ReplyDeleteI had to comment. I also had the same problem as a child but I overcame it without having to visit any speech therapist. My advice is that you help him by telling him to calm down whenever he wants to say something, let him take it gradually and whenever he starts to cry hug him and let him understand that its okay and he will get better if he can just slow down and take the words one after the the other. Hopefully this helps.
ReplyDeleteThere are stammerers now maybe he's one of them
ReplyDeleteHope u don't shout at him when he's trying to speak? He need confidence.
ReplyDeleteCheck for bullying
ReplyDeleteDid he just start school/change school?
Change environment?
And is there abuse e.g sexual find out in a calm manner (don't panic)
Also check is he bedwetting (if he has stopped did he recently start again)
Having bad dreams, complaining about his teacher?
Let GOD guide you to eliminate all possible causes and have a quick resolution.
Just maybe this is our new motivational speaker in the making! I pray it ends in praise in JESUS name.
Tip: I use this so you can try it.
When he starts (they try harder and it makes them quickly get out of breathe) tell him in a smiling manner to calm down take deep breathes and now gist you. Excitement or fear can seriously increase the stuttering so he should calm down and take the alphabets.
Bring his teacher up to speed so she/he can handle him better
Speech therapist and prayers... I feel your pain and I pray you come out of this fast. It is well.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Y not take him to the therapist
ReplyDeleteHe'll out grow it if he's a talker. U can also see his class teacher to make sure he's not bullied in class.
ReplyDeletePlease go to his school and check if any of his class mates stutter. My cousins kid was copying stuttering from his sit mate his mum used slap to reset his brain when she went to his school and found out. If copying isnth the case then speech therapy is the way forward. All the best.
ReplyDeleteHe will outgrow it,I can't remembr d term fr it,but it's just a phase,just calm him dwn,encourage him,dnt shout @ him, and in a month or 2 it will stop! Spkn frm experince
ReplyDeleteWorry not. He will outgrow it. Happened to my nephew too when he was about that age. But now he s 6 and he s doing fine now. Just keep encouraging him and don't let anyone mk fun of him as well. He will b fine!
ReplyDeleteHmnnn dis 1 strong oooo
ReplyDeleteEya, poor kid. Just be patient with him ok
ReplyDeletei pray u read dis....
ReplyDeleteMadam is ur son left handed? are u forcing him to use is right hand? or are his teachers in school forcing him to use his right hand?....The left side of the brain controls speech(in a left handed kid)..Now if you force him to use his right hand(while he was born left handed)...His Speech will be distorted...The brain is still trying to cope with the change.
Other factors:1: Dos anyone stutter in ur family? it can also be hereditary.
2: Maybe he's trying to imitate a classmate.
Speech therapist but also evaluate emotional issues. Any bullying at schl? Is he undergoing stress? Stable household, no fight between parents? Is he under pressure to perform well at schl and at home?
ReplyDeleteShouting or raising alarm when he cries will only further distabilise him. He can sense your worry and confusion which does not help. Try and maintain a stable composure even as you seek help
Beat stammer comot im body. That was how my mum cured mine ooo.. I had a very close cousin then who stammers and still does but my mum didn't waste time in slapping my mouth shot anytime I tried stammering and that was how I overcame mine...
