TRY NOT to make the tempo of his homelife too strenuous. DO NOT make the child have to compete for a chance to talk, let him have his turn at the table, or in a family group. Stuttering is not a disease. Silent Block-holding out a sound silently. Prolongation-holding out a voiced sound.
Associated behaviors are common with stutterers.
These may include blinking, leaning forward. According to the learning theory, associated behaviors occur when an action helps get one through a stuttering moment once, and the stutterer comes to rely on that action to get them through stuttering moments always. Most children become dysfluent between the ages of 2 and 5 years of age. With normal dysfluency there is no struggle, and the dysfluency is effortless. Stutterers have a hard time with sounds, syllables and parts of words, where non-stutterers tend to have problems with whole words and phrases.
