Stuttering

Myth: Forcing the child to read aloud in the classroom makes her lose her shyness and fear of speaking.

Reality: Shyness and fear do not cause stuttering. So is the unfounded belief that, if the child fails to stop being shy or afraid to speak, stuttering disappears. In fact, shyness and fear of speaking can be consequences of stuttering: the child may be afraid to speak up because you think you can not stutter, but because they know it will stutter because he also knows that he can not prevent the occurrence of stuttering, and often, believing that it should be able to do something not to stutter. On the other hand, fear can actually aggravate stuttering. Thus, forcing the child to read aloud in the classroom will only help to make the problem worse. In legal terms, forcing the student with stuttering reading aloud or present seminars is very serious indeed justifying the opening of the legal process because of embarrassment generated by situations.
