| Stammering:
Nearly all children stumble over their words when they first learn to speak.
This is because they have so many ideas in their heads that they can't
speak as quickly as they think. This
does not mean that they have a stammer. It is important that you do not
make your child feel nervous or self-conscious
as this will only increase his tendency to stammer. |
