The cause of neurotic stuttering

Stammering is common in children aged 2-5 years. In this time interval, most of the functions of the human body( digestion, breathing, hearing, vision, etc.) have already been formed to a sufficient degree. In comparison with them, the function of speech is formed the very last. Precisely because the speech function is not formed and is imperfect, its failure is possible. In addition, at the same time, the sexuality of the child is also growing rapidly.

There was a definite link between non-standard development and stuttering education at this moment. Some scientists believe that just at this time there is the formation of complex connections within the brain. If at this age there is an early brain damage, then there is a fairly high probability of stuttering in children. According to our observations, recently stammering has become significantly "younger", where parents often come to clinics with their children, who started stammering at the age of up to two years. There was a connection between the use of the nipple and stuttering. Most children who have used a pacifier in infancy for a long time result in a deterioration in the pronunciation of sounds accompanied by stuttering. In addition, the defect begins to progress rapidly. Heavy forms of stammering in the past were found only in adolescents aged 15-16 years, and today they are also seen in three-year-old children. There is also another trend: a significant increase in the number of stuttering girls.

Stammering does not begin for everyone, but only for vulnerable, neurotic, weakened, emotional, receptive, nerve-prone and neurotic states of children. Most specialists call figuratively their "children who do not have skin", trying to demonstrate the exceptional location of the latter, but a more accurate term - neurotics. For such children, all disorders that are inherent in a class or a block of diseases are inherent, to which stuttering can be attributed.

Fright

Stuttering is almost never formed on its own. There is always a reason for the formation or trigger mechanism.

Earlier, most often such a mechanism was a fright( the child was suddenly frightened of the dog that appeared, the unexpectedly appeared father from around the corner, who tries to "cheer him up").For today we can observe the fright from a very loud firework, a terrible mask at a New Year's celebration, a cartoon or a horror film, sea waves, etc. One of our patients, at the age of five, began to stutter as a result of his ride on the "Cool Mountains" attraction, he told aboutThe reason for the formation of the defect: "It was so scary that even my father was frightened."There is also a stammer because of the fright that was obtained when attacking the family of an armed group of bandits.

As an optional trigger of stuttering, fright often appears, there are also psychotraumatic cases that can lead to illness. Divorce of parents.

Another common cause of neurotic stuttering is the divorce of parents. Children are involved in a family conflict, can hear noisy negotiations on this topic, take direct part in quarrels. Parents believe that the child must know everything, but do not remember at the same time that because of age he is not able to understand what happened.

As a result - the deterioration of speech and a sense of insecurity, insecurity, uselessness of neither mother nor father.

Quite often stammering is formed in a child because of jealousy when a sister or younger brother appears in the family. He thinks that now all the mother's love is sent only to the baby, and now he is all alone, abandoned without care and attention. Often parents do not have the time to sit down, talk to him, in fact, and try to figure out the situation.

Imitation.

The cause of stuttering may consist of imitating a stuttering child or an adult. For example, in the speech therapy group of a kindergarten in the Moscow region in September there was a stammering child, and in May there were four of them.

Unfortunately, children sometimes copy not a positive, but a negative stereotype of the oven. Imitation is especially dangerous because borrowed stuttering is often much heavier than the "exemplary" stigma and is better adjusted.

Left-hander retraining.

The emergence of neurotic stuttering is possible in lefties, who are trying to retrain. In such a situation, adults themselves, unaware of the fact, put the child in a continuous traumatic situation. When you thrust the left-hander of the right hand, they artificially replace the hemisphere of the brain that dominates the movements, forcing the left to work instead of the right one.

Despite the fact that there are already a lot of good books on this subject, we regularly face situations when educators, parents and teachers cause stammering in lefties, forcing them to use their right hand.

Overexertion of information.

Often stammering occurs in children, overstretched with unnecessary information, which spend too much time at the computer, TV.The child is under the influence of all probable information fields, which come into resistance both with each other, and with a labile child's psyche.

Example.

Now imagine the situation: a three year old child is at the TV, he talks to his mother, tries to assemble the designer and at the same time to eat. This crumb is in four information fields at once: in the mom's field( after all, he must react to her words), the TV, the designer and the food process. At this age the child does not understand why he wanted to sleep, cry or perform any unusual gestures - thus, the resistance of information fields is manifested.

Parents can not understand that a child is not able to selectively disconnect from information, like an adult, and ultimately absorbs it completely. The brain is overloaded from inappropriate age information, and in the end it is the cause of speech disorders. If the child were not nervous, this case could well be resolved safely, but this situation is not the same.
