■ Overview of Stuttering
A fluency disorder is commonly referred to as stuttering.
A fluency disorder is a speech disorder characterized by the involuntary repetition or prolongation of sounds, syllables, words, phrases, pauses, or the rhythmic flow of speech.
Most cases of stuttering in young children begin between the ages of 3 and 6.
Fluency disorders affect approximately 5% of preschool-aged children.
It is normal for children to stutter slightly while they are in the process of learning to speak.
Typically, most 5-year-old children no longer stutter.
This physiologically occurring form of stuttering is known as primary stuttering.
Stuttering that occurs due to specific underlying causes, or that persists beyond the age of 6, is considered abnormal and is classified as pathological stuttering.
When speaking, children with primary stuttering involuntarily repeat or prolong words, syllables, phrases, or pauses.
In particular, they tend to repeat consonant sounds more frequently when speaking.
Furthermore, primary stuttering typically worsens when the child feels anxious or is under stress. Some children who stutter continue to do so as they grow older.
Stuttering affects approximately 1% of the adult population.
For example, when attempting to say, “Father is coming,” instead of speaking the word “Father” normally, the child might repeat the sound “Ah” several times—saying “Ah-ah”—before continuing to say “ther” to complete the word.
Instead of stuttering on a single word, a child may sometimes repeat an entire phrase. ■ Causes of Stuttering
The specific causes of primary stuttering remain largely unknown.
It is believed to arise from individual differences in genetic susceptibility.
It is suggested that while the language centers in the cerebrum may be structurally normal, a child may develop a stutter if their language development lags significantly behind that of their peers.
Stuttering may also occur when language development outpaces the development of cognitive processes or general intelligence.
A small band of tissue, known as the frenulum, connects the underside of the tongue’s tip to the floor of the mouth. In some cases, the lower end of this frenulum is not attached normally to the floor of the mouth but is instead abnormally attached to the central gum line of the lower jaw. In such instances, the frenulum may be significantly shorter than normal, preventing the child from extending the tip of the tongue fully out of the mouth or curling it upward toward the palate. When the child attempts to extend the tongue, the tip may instead curl downward toward the floor of the mouth.
This congenital malformation of the frenulum is referred to as “tongue-tie” (or *ankyloglossia*).
Although it is sometimes claimed that tongue-tie can delay language development or cause stuttering, this assertion is not supported by evidence (refer to *Parents Must Also Become “Half-Doctors”: Encyclopedia of Pediatric Home Care*—Vol. 9, “Pediatric and Adolescent Gastrointestinal Disorders”—specifically the section on *Ankyloglossia*).
Toddlers may develop a stutter if they experience intense fear or anxiety regarding their parents’ whereabouts—specifically, the fear that their parents might leave them alone at home and disappear.
Children may also begin to stutter if they experience tension and anxiety while attempting to cope with schoolwork that lies far beyond their current capabilities. This specific type of stuttering may be classified as “pathological stuttering.”
■ Treatment of Stuttering
In toddlers who have not yet entered kindergarten, a mild, physiological form of stuttering often occurs. If parents simply observe the child while providing an abundance of unconditional love and affection, this stuttering will typically resolve naturally before the child reaches the age of six. If a child stutters to a pathological degree, the following treatments should be administered.
Academic instruction should be tailored to the child’s specific level of maturity and ability.
Stuttering can be successfully treated if the child receives an abundance of genuine, unconditional love—specifically through eye contact, physical affection, and focused, undivided attention.
In particular, if a father sets aside dedicated time to be alone with the child—offering intense focus and affection—and helps identify and resolve the deep-seated fears, worries, and anxieties within the child’s heart, the stuttering can often be effectively cured.
It is essential to create a home environment that fosters a more joyful and happy existence.
Most cases of “physiological stuttering” that emerge in children under the age of 5 or 6 resolve naturally; however, if stuttering persists beyond this age, the child should receive treatment from a pediatrician, a speech-language pathologist, or a child psychiatrist.
The following is an excerpt from an online Q&A forum regarding pediatric health, addressing the topic of “Stuttering and Bilingualism.”
Q&A: Stuttering and Bilingualism
Q.
Hello,
I am writing because I am concerned about my nephew, who is just over five years old. He has recently started to stutter slightly, and I am worried about how best to address this situation.
We live in Los Angeles, California—as does my nephew. Since his parents speak Korean at home, he spoke almost exclusively in Korean until he started school. He began attending school shortly after turning three; initially, he struggled a bit because he had trouble understanding English. My older sister (his mother) even had to go to the school occasionally to act as an interpreter. However, he now speaks English quite well—though, perhaps because he has an older sister, he tends to speak a mix of about half English and half Korean.
In the past, he would occasionally stutter when speaking English; at the time, we assumed it was simply because he hadn’t yet mastered the language. However, he has now started to stutter occasionally when speaking Korean as well. Please let me know how I can help prevent stuttering. Also, since you are located in the U.S., could you please let me know if there are any schools or programs available for speech correction?
Thank you very much.
A.
Dear [Name],
Hello. Thank you for asking such a good question.
The more information you provide—such as your child’s age, gender, medical history, family medical history, clinical examination findings, and laboratory test results—the better I can assist you in providing an answer. I will provide a response based on the information you have shared.
For children learning two languages (bilingual children), there are both advantages and disadvantages regarding their language development.
Ideally, it is best to teach both Korean and English in a balanced manner; however, there are times when achieving this balance is not possible.
For us Korean expatriates living in the United States, I believe that English should serve as the primary language, followed by Korean as the secondary language.
Depending on the individual child, there are variations in both the aptitude and the desire to learn two distinct languages simultaneously.
For toddlers aged 4 to 5, attempting to learn two languages simultaneously—with the goal of becoming proficient in both—can sometimes place a significant emotional burden not only on the child but also on the parents.
Consequently, this situation may lead to the onset of stuttering in the child.
The physiological stuttering that sometimes occurs while toddlers are in the process of learning to speak is referred to as “primary stuttering.”
Children experiencing this primary stuttering may repeat specific words or phrases; most commonly, they tend to repeat consonant sounds.
Furthermore, if the child experiences heightened anxiety or stress, the stuttering may become more severe.
It is estimated that approximately 5% of toddlers experience this type of stuttering.
In the majority of cases, this condition resolves naturally over time.
However, for about 1% of children who stutter, the condition may not resolve completely.
I recommend that you have your child undergo a comprehensive health checkup—specifically including a hearing test—at a pediatric clinic, and that you seek therapeutic intervention from a speech therapist affiliated with your child’s local school district. Under U.S. law, if a student in elementary, middle, or high school presents with a speech or language impairment, school authorities at every level are obligated to provide a free evaluation of the student’s language issues, identify the underlying causes, and provide appropriate speech therapy.
Please contact the school directly to obtain further information.
Please refer to page 00 regarding stuttering and related topics. [Parents Must Become Half-Doctors: Encyclopedia of Pediatric and Home Care] — Volume 3: Growth and Development (Newborns, Infants, School-Aged Children, and Adolescents) — Relevant Age Group: Developmental Milestones for Children Aged 1 Month to 6 Years. We recommend seeking an examination, diagnosis, treatment, and consultation at a pediatric clinic.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Thank you. Sincerely, Lee Sang-won.
