7 Начина на који Можете Помоћи Детету Које Муца

1 Говорите са Bашим дететом без  журбе,  са честим паузама.  Чекајте неколико секунди после тога што Bаше дете заврши говор и пре него што Bи почнете да говорите.  Ваш сопствени  спор, опуштен начин говора ће бити далеко више ефикасан него било каква критика или савет, као на пример “успори”  или  “покушај опет спорије.” 

7 Načina na koji Možete Pomoći Detetu Koje Muca

sastavljeno od strane Beri Gitar, Doktor Filozofije

i Eduard Đ. Kantur, Doktor Filozofije

1 Govorite sa Vašim detetom bez  žurbe,  sa čestim pauzama.  Čekajte nekoliko sekundi posle toga što Vaše dete završi govor i pre nego što Vi počnete da govorite.  Vaš sopstveni   spor, opušten način govora će biti daleko više efikasan nego bilo kakva kritika ili savet, kao na primer “uspori”  ili  “pokušaj opet sporije.” 

6 Saveta Za Razgovor Sa Osobom Koja Muca

Mucanje može izgledati kao lak problem koji može da se reši sa nekim jednostavnim savetom,  ali za mnoge odrasle osobe  ono može biti hronični  životni problem.  Evo nekih načina na koji Vi,  kao slušalac,  možete pomoći.

1..  Nemojte izgovarati komentare kao:  “Uspori,”  “Udiši,”  ili  “Opusti se.”  Takve proste  poruke  mogu se doživeti  kao  ponižavajuće a ne kao korisne. 

6 Савета За Разговор Са Особом Која Муца

1..  Немојте изговарати коментаре као:  “Успори,”  “Удиши,”  или  “Опусти се.”  Такве просте  поруке  могу се доживети  као  понижавајуће а не као корисне.  

2..  Дај те особи до знања, по вашем начину понашања, да ви слушате то што он или она говори-  а не дајете пажњу на начин на који се изговарају речи.

3..  Одржите природан контакт са очима и чекајте стрпљиво и природно док особа заврши реченице.

Tireless SFA Ambassador Woos Oprah

By Joan Warner

Like David Seidler said in his Oscar acceptance speech for The King’s Speech - “We have a voice. We have been heard”- Stuttering Foundation friend, patron, and unofficial Public Library Ambassador Leon ‘Jigger’ Sirois has been espousing that sentiment for years. Tirelessly working with his late-in-life found fluency on behalf of the Stuttering Foundation and all people who stutter, he too says we can be heard.

A Third Generation view of the King

Editor’s Note: Jean Gruss, the author of this article, is the grandson of Stuttering Foundation founder Malcolm Fraser and Mark Logue is the grandson of Lionel Logue.

For decades, Lionel Logue’s name was an obscure footnote in biographies of British King George VI.

But thanks to his grandson and a blockbuster movie, he’s quickly become the most famous speech therapist in history.
