Stuttering:
Stuttering individuals do not always stutter. A person who stutters can speak fluently while whispering, singing, talking to babies, talking to animals, imitating someone else's speech, and speaking a different language than usual. This shows us that in some cases, stuttering may occur as a result of anxiety rather than organic causes. Because in these situations, anxiety does not occur and the person can talk comfortably. For this reason, anxiety should be studied in addition to speech therapy in stuttering.

Suggestions
Having a childhood that is accepted, loved and cared for is very important for a positive self. The verbal environment provided by the mother and father in early childhood and the loads placed on the child are effective in self-development. In a study conducted to understand whether the self-concepts of individuals who stutter are different from individuals who do not stutter, it was concluded that individuals who stutter are significantly less free, develop incomplete emotional control, have less self-acceptance and less rejection. If a stuttering person manages to gain self-strength and experiences social acceptance (first by parents), he or she tends to stutter less. If the child encounters a wall built with pressures, punishments and criticism in the communication environment, he will stutter more, thus finding himself in the middle of a vicious circle. This basic factor should be kept in mind The child should be provided with a comfortable and accepting environment by paying attention to boundaries and boundaries.
