The initial signs of stuttering can be detected in children early in their childhood essentially while they are at the age of entering into primary school and if treated from the very beginning, there is a possibility that the stuttering vanishes by the time they enter secondary school. When the stuttering goes unnoticed or untreated, there is a greater probability that the child stutters more during the primary school age. Stuttering children are often made fun of in school which may prevent the child from being expressive. As a result, the child withdraws itself from participating in many activities and eventually develops a shy personality. This sometimes may lead the child to become emotionally and psychologically weak leading to depressive states in them.

In order to prevent such unnecessary consequences, parents must take special care while treating stuttering primary school children. Once the problem of stuttering is identified in a child steps must be taken to counteract it. Parents can well be effective in eliminating this setback especially in the primary school stage as children in this age can be easily molded. Activities must be planned for them in the primary school in which this speech impediment can be easily overcome. Activities may include debates, games and other speech stimulating activities. Encouragement from parents and teachers with respect to their fluency of speech and pronunciation of difficult words must be encouraged to help the child overcome the stammering problem. When the child is having difficulty with some words due to the stuttering problem, parents must try and help the child with the word with constant encouragement.

Primary school is an integral part of a child's life and many a problems can be countered during this stage. Stuttering is just a temporary setback which can be treated and eliminated in the primary school stage with proper care and training. The stuttering problem cannot be expected to vanish on its own accord and if treated properly during the primary school stage, it can be gotten rid of forever.
