Why Do Kids Stutter

This phenomenon surprised many parents, boy who had gone off to talk perhaps surprised and even pride the family for his elaborate language, begins suddenly stuttering.

It is common around age 3 after a child has begun to speak fluently, it's a passing phase of stuttering. It can occur as a result of a new baby crisis or because, for no apparent reason to explain.

 

Language development does not always follow a linear progressive evolution, but sometimes there are small setbacks, like a kind of respite before further progress.

Our attitude is very important. If done properly, this phase will be temporary in 80 percent of cases, whereas if they commit certain errors, there will be likelihood that stuttering is perpetuated.
It helps to talk slowly and calmly, enhance self-confidence, showing love and praise their positive aspects. If the setbacks are persist for several months, then you have to make a specialized test, if it is establishing a real disorder that requires treatment.

Important things to consider:
- Listening to the boy with no hurry, no signs of impatience (be careful of gestures and body language).
- Do not repeat, do not force him to talk slower.
- Do not finish his words, nor correct or make any comment about it.
- Wait patiently to the end to say what they want.

- Focus on the content of what he says, not how he say and respond only on the basis of content.

How to Promote Your Children Language

Here in we give a simple set of guidelines that are very effective to stimulate children to use language.
- How to promote your language? Naturally by speaking, reading, singing, naming things he sees and telling what we are do.

- How much stimulation do you need? In principle the more the better. However, quality prefer than quantity; that mean it makes no sense to spend all day talking without touching items, neither serves to sit for hours watching TV because interaction is a fundamental requirement.

- How do you speak? With a calm voice, simplifying the language, pausing, taking turns, approaching his face, looking into his eyes ..... That is just what the human being instinctively when dealing with infant, it will cost nothing.

Strabismus in Children

Strabismus means literally "look crooked", we say that a child has this problem when one or both eyes deviate from eye axis. And usually one eye turns in or out.

Strabismus has several causes:
- A problem related to eye muscle.
- It can be caused by a vision problem (eg. high farsightedness that make boy's eye twisting to see better).

How to detect: The two eyes are not aligned and may not move in tandem in the same direction (sometimes or never). Babies may have a false strabismus; pediatrician and ophthalmologist are responsible to correctly diagnose a squint.


Treatment: Eyeglasses can help correct the misalignment of the eyes, and in some cases can correct it completely. Other children will need surgery or lasers.
