Stuttering in children can be improved by controlling their speech rhythm and pace, as well as paying attention to speaking speed. Stuttering may also result from fright or trauma, in which case psychological therapy is recommended to help calm the child's mood and emotions. If stuttering is caused by anxiety, medications such as fluoxetine or paroxetine may be used under a doctor's guidance.
