Stammering in childhood


In most cases the same tough few months.
Why stuttering is so common among the two or three years?

There are two possible explanations. This is the age period when the child tries hard to speak. When he was younger he used short sentences that did not need to think. But at this stage starts a sentence three or four times, only to be interrupted in the middle, because you can not find the right words. Parents, tired of their constant chatter, do not pay too much attention, so that the child feels even more frustrated.

Moreover, the emotional state of the small has little bearing on this problem. In most cases occur in small little tense. Some, for example, stutter when excited or start to do the day his new sister is brought to the hospital.

What birth to stuttering?
Do not try to correct your child or worry to two years. Note instead what things could be causing stress. Perhaps the arrival of a sibling, the removal of a beloved family ... In most cases, the stuttering goes away by itself. He will not immediately but gradually, as the child grows, it is finished. If not, should seek professional help in order to investigate the cause of stress and eliminate it. There is also talk specialty treatments that correct the problem.

Depression child

The theme of depression at the stage of infancy, is very impressive. All we think that this is a time of happiness and joy permanent, and that the sadness and concern for those who are in childhood, are totally temporary. However, this state is often more frequent every day and a disorder totally poignant because of their serious problems.

It is necessary to distinguish depression as appropriate emotional response to a critical moment, the disease of depression. Any child can go through moments like depressive reaction to losses or changes, what constitutes a normal emotional response. But when this situation becomes chronic and can not be overcome with the passage of time it is an emotional disorder, rather complex.

As symptoms are central irritable mood or sadness, and loss of ability to enjoy. The child is listless, without wanting to nothing, or chronically of malhumor, intolerant and evil character.

Thus, depression manifests itself in a manner masked by various disorders that in turn give a misleading impression and hinder their recognition

Here is a list of these symptoms, so you can recognize this kind of state in small around you:

Decreased self-esteem: the child has a demeaning image of himself, is self-critical, and has a feeling of inferiority.
Loss of interest: the boy is bored is not apathetic have little motivation plays and is always tired.
Withdrawal: It costs linked with the other children, it is not integrated well with their group, tends to isolate itself, chooses solitary activities like watching television too many hours.
Difficulty managing aggression: have frequent fights, tantrums, behavioural disorders, or inhibition of aggression (not quarrel, neither defends nor).
Loss of ability to concentrate: the child disperses far have trouble paying attention. This leads to a decline in school performance.
On sleep disorders: insomnia or hypersomnia presents.
Eating Disorders: lose or increase the appetite or weight.
Somatic symptoms that have no organic cause: the smaller the child, most tend to express their problems through his body. In schoolchildren, are more frequent headaches.
