To correct stuttering in a two-year-old child, if the cause is physiological, the child should be taken to the hospital for evaluation to identify the underlying reasons and receive appropriate treatment. If the cause is psychological, psychological interventions such as family therapy or psychoanalytic therapy may be helpful, enabling the child to better regulate emotions and improve stuttering. Parents can also engage in家庭教育 (home-based education), such as guiding the child through oral exercises like reciting poems or storytelling, providing opportunities to practice verbal expression, which can aid in correcting stuttering.
