Please try indirect therapy which involves-
speaking slowly and calmly to your child
encouraging taking turns and listening within the family
doing more of what seems to help your child's fluency – for example, chatting about what you and your child are doing together, such as playing, cooking, walking to pre-school, or looking at favourite books
not interrupting or criticising your child
making the family environment as relaxing and calm as possible
Next Steps
consult a speech and language therapist.
