Serious question my daughter has a stammer but not the common type?

Question

I really do only want serious answers please.

She is 4 years old and the 'usual' stammer or stutter is to repeat the beginning of a word, but she does it with the end of a word, and she does it repeatedly . We give her full attention until she has said what she wants to say, and have never, ever menion her stammer, but Im thinking she will maybe get bullied at school (she just started) or if there is ANY way we can help her, or even a reason as to why she does this to help us understand??? If you have experience as a parent with a child with this 'problem' I would value your advice

Answer 1

visit the child's health visitor as speech and language difficulties are common in children. they may refer you to a speech and language therapist. my son had therapy for 2 years. the therapists construct their sessions so that they are fun for the child and they are learning without even knowing it!if they assess that there is no difficulties and that they will 'grow out of it' then at least this will help ease your mind.speech and language difficulties can be very complex therefore you must seek advice from a suitably qualified person.

Answer 2

I have 5 kids 3 of which had a speech troubles one still has but that is due to other reason. If I was you I would be contacting a speech therapist I am not sure if you have government help where you are for the cover of the cost to this or if your medical insurance will cover it or not. You are right she probably will get teased later in on in school so the earlier you get this started the better the speech therapist will be able to tell you at the time if this is going to be an on going thing or something that can be simple fixed. Either way you will have to do all the work with you child that they give you to do. I found the time of day to do this was when the child was not doing something else and when its nice and quiet in the house. The speech therapist may also have her hearing cheeked as well. this is quiet normal for them to do as this will help the speech therapist to know what else if any thing is going on. They will also ask other questing that may not seem like they are part of speech but they need to have as much information on this. Good luck

i have had a problem in the past rgds stammering, after taking advice from all sorts of people i sought professional help, now i have not overcome the problem completely but life has become easier. I now think of what i want to say & if for example i struggle with a particular word i substitute it with a differant word or use colours as a way daft & strange it may seem but it does work. My problems arose from me being the youngest of nine children & being bullied by the elders in my family, but with the help of my partner i have coquered some of my stammer problems i hope this has been of some help to you.

Okay I dont have kids but my aunt had this problem with one of her sons. What she did was give him tongue twisters to repeat over and over. Slowly the stutter went away. She said that "le suelto la luenga" (traslation--his tongue loosened up). I'm not sure if its medically tested or anything but it worked for him.

I also had a friend that stutter all through high school and once he went off to the Army and came back, the stutter was gone. I dont think you would want to send a 4 year old off to the army but maybe doing some research on it might help.

Hope this helps a little.

Answer 5

I'm a teacher. When she starts school. Immediately take her to the SPED department. Depending on where you are, they may be helpful or not, but if you demand it, they will help you. There is someone at the school that can diagnose the issue for free.

If you have insurance, take her to see a speech pathologist, they will diagnose and work to correct the problem as quikly as possible. But the sooner you take action, the easier the problem is resolved.

Answer 6

did she have the stammer before she started school? if she didnt then it could be that she is not finding it easy mixing in that environment, we all know that our kids will kick and scream on their first day, this may not be the case with your daughter, but i suggest that you have a teacher watch her, see whats going on, they do have councellors in many schools these days, they are professional when it comes to dealing with kids of that age, mention it to who ever is in charge...this may just be because she is not finding it easy mixing, or because she has just came out of the comfort of her own home into a loud noisy place and it's upsetting her.... it could be many things, but my advice is, see the teacher in charge and have your daughter watched, this may pass after a few months, she may settle, and her stammer may go away... good luck

Answer 7

usually in cases like these the reason is because the mouth is going faster than the brain can think. In a nutshell she is thinking at a slower pace than what she wants to talk. It's quite common in small children. She will learn to slow down as she gets older.

Answer 8

I instruct language, so I thought I could give my 2 cents.
Get her to speak slowly and focus on her words focusing on enunciation. Get her to think before she speaks. Make the words in her head before she says them.
My older brother stuttered for 18 years and was finally cured of it when he just thought, then spoke. Simple but works.

Answer 9

certainly, you're unlikely to get the terrific suggestion on right here. maximum of those solutions are from individuals who're teenagers. i'm 30 years previous, and that i will inform you ladies will constantly have stable thoughts in the direction of their father. yet, her movements are transforming into a splash overboard. particular, it gets awkward in case you convey it up. do not do this. yet supply her diffused clues. For an occasion, if she ask to take a tub with you returned, tell in "No!", in a relaxed and annoying voice. If she walks around without clothing, tell her in a relaxed and annoying voice, "placed some clothing on, now!" you may desire to be a father. in case you do not say something, it could supply her the effect which you like it. She'll boost out of it. She's 15 and he or she's coming up stable sexual thoughts, that have plenty to do with estrogen. Her physique could be attending to plenty. She desires some form of go out to vent out those thoughts. So if if does not artwork along with her father, she'll get the attention someplace else. wherein, you may desire to save a watch on through fact she will land up hurting herself. Have a woman on the brink of you different than you spouse; your sister, or a pal, communicate along with her approximately her sexual thoughts, yet not in a fashion which will set off off alerts which you informed on you daughter. Watch the action picture "Eve's Bayou." it rather is a few daughter who likes her father sexually through fact there are hidden issues on the interior it rather is bothering her, and he or she's too youthful to appreciate. He stopped her from doing that the incorrect way, and issues went incorrect. great action picture! wish this helps.

You also may want to see if the school she just started has some sort of speech therapist or speech pathologist. Starting young may help a lot.
