Also Slightly and ask the child to speak slowly and calmly that you are listening. Encourage your child to speak slowly rather than rush through words.
If stuttering persists after doing all you can please see a speech pathologist/therapist.
Parent should try and observe the child in order to address the reason for the stuttering.
