Most children who stutter benefit from taking time to speak at a rate that promotes fluency. Here are a few tips on how you can help your child's fluency when speaking to them.
1. Reduce the Pace - Speak with your child in a unhurried way, pausing frequently.
2. Full Listening - Increase the times that you give your child your undivided attention.
3. Asking Questions - Try to resist asking one question after another. Sometimes it's best to just comment on what your child has said and wait.
4. Turn Taking - Take turns listening and talking. Children find it much easier to speak when there are fewer interruptions.
5. Building Confidence - Use descriptive praise to build confidence.
6. Special Times - Set aside a few minutes at a regular time each day to give your child your undivided attention
7. Normal Rules Apply
