क्या बच्चों की हकलाहट चिंता का विषय है, बिल्कुल है। क्या हम इसके लिए कुछ कर सकते हैं, बिल्कुल कर सकते हैं।

बच्चों में ज्यादातर डेवलपमेंटल स्टैमरिंग होती है। अगर हम इसे सीरियसली ना लें तो यह बच्चों में हकलाहट का रूप ले लेती है, जो उनके जीवन को बहुत कष्टकारी बना देती है। बड़ों की यह जिम्मेदारी बनती है कि हम बच्चों को इससे मुक्त कराने के लिए पूरी ताकत लगा दें। हर बच्चे में बहुत पोटेंशियल होता है और हमें उन्हें वह मौका देना चाहिए।

इस लड़ाई में उन माता-पिता और घर के बड़े लोगों का साथ देने के लिए, हमने इस कोर्स को बनाया है। इस कोर्स की सोच हमें हमारे कुछ यूट्यूब के वीडियो से आई थी जिससे बहुत लोगों को फायदा हुआ था। काफी लोगों की हकलाहट कम हुई थी, और कई लोगों की हकलाहट बिल्कुल खत्म हो गई थी।

सब लोगों की यह डिमांड थी कि हम एक ऐसा प्लेटफार्म क्रिएट करें जहां पर हम सारी की सारी टेक्निक्स और एक्सरसाइज बता सकें और नई-नई टेक्निक्स उसमें ऐड करते रहे। इस कोर्स के माध्यम से हम बिल्कुल यही करना चाहते हैं। हम लोग सब माता-पिता के साथ खड़े होकर उनके बच्चों की हकलाहट के खिलाफ युद्ध छेड़ना चाहते हैं जैसे उनके बच्चे बहुत ही अच्छे स्पीकर और कम्युनिकेटर बन सके और दुनिया में अपना नाम कमा सकें।

सिर्फ इंग्लिश समझने वाले लोगों के लिए परिचय

Introduction

We understand the problems faced by the people who stammers or parents facing the challenge of kid’s stammering. The frustration to express themselves or the failure to communicate their message to others is limiting and debilitating.

Many people make fun of people who stammers while others show pity or sympathy. None of these is uplifting for the person who is fighting the battle for normal communication. It is also deep troubling for the people associated with that person. That is the reason most of the people who stammers struggles to live a normal life. Many people lose their confidence and starts to feeling defeated. The tend to develop inferiority complex which also affects their other activities in life and work. A person with the potential of becoming an entrepreneur, a politician, researcher or a salesperson is unable to reach his true potential. It is loose-loose for all.

In most cases, stammering is the psychological fear of producing specific sounds, speaking specific letters or words. It could also be due to anxiety for some reason or unnatural breathing patterns. Whatever be the reason, the person starts to believe that he would not be able to speak properly and utter some words. This soon becomes a reality for him. With every instance of stammering, the psychological fear of words increases. Many people try to fight their stammering by taking medicines, visiting speech therapist implementing weird suggestions of people. This keeps happening till the person stops trying and accept stammering as his fate.

We need to understand that for most stammering is just a hard behavior which refuses to go. At a certain point, it does not strengthen but it stays there. Different people would have different levels of stammering, that is their point of stammering saturation. The problem with this level is that it becomes the part of the life of the person. His mind and body accept it as normal and natural. They do not fight against it. That is a point when stammering makes its temporary home as permanent.

How these techniques were created?

For previous generations, stammering was a bad luck or a disease. Just as a person is born without a finger or limb, same was the case with the stammering. It was supposed that a person is born with it. For some, it was hereditary while for others it was the punishment for a bad deed of the past life. As stammering was accepted as bad luck, people accepted it as a handicap which was incurable. They learnt to live with it. That is how the people from previous generations had lived and present generations is learning to live with communication deficiency.

Opportunists and profit-minded people found an opportunity to earn from the pain, frustration and fear of people affected with stammering. They opened shops, clinics and treatment centers to train in commonsense exercises and techniques. Some offered medicines while others seemed to find solution in Alternative Therapies. As about 1% of the world’s population stammers in some way, it was a big business without much risk. If someone improves a little, mostly by their own efforts, it was the success of the coach, otherwise failure was the responsibility of the aspirant. Families and people flocked to these snake-oil sellers.

This fact is not to imply that these coaches and so-called doctors are harming the people in anyway. Some of these people have good techniques and methods to deal with stammering. These techniques and exercises can simply be told through a book, article, audio or video. It does not require costly treatment and daily visits. Definitely they are exploiting the fear of the affected by showing them hope. People who stammers and their families desperately want to feel the freedom of fearless communication.

Most of the people starts to believe that stammering is the part of their life, just the way any other body part. That is the start of lifelong stammering. It is to be understood that most of the stammering are psychological fear of some letter, words or phrases. Though few cases of stammering are neurological, which is the lack of synchronization in mind and speech. In this cases, consultancy and treatment from a doctor is required.

Then there were some who refused to accept their incapacity in communication and fought against it. They refused to accept their destiny forcing the life of stammering suffocation. They decided to fight against it and become its cure.

These rebels of the status-quo were logical and experienced. They understood the exploitative people around them trying to earn on their fear. Most of them were the victims of witch-doctors and did not want others to experience it. They decided to do something about it, by curing their speech impediments themselves.

After suffering for years with their inability to express themselves, these people had understood the mechanism of stammering. They knew that it is not a disease, instead a psychological fear of some letters, words and phrases. The main culprits were anxiety and lack of confidence. They understood that stuttering is merely a habit which had become a behavior overtime. This bad behavior was rooted deep inside their mind and psyche, which would pose a big challenge to win. They started to deal with their anxiety and develop confidence by developing techniques and methodologies with trial and error. It was tough initially as they were sailing in uncharted waters, but soon this started to see the seeds of success. That was the moment when they started to feel the confidence of winning over their communication impairment. This was the start of a revolution to defeat stammering.

Forums were formed and people started to interact with each other on different channels. They started to share their techniques, which they have learned through hit and trial, with each other. They shared their experiences and learning about the ways to improve their speaking and communication skills effectively. Most of these rebels were able to cure their stammering by 60, 70, 80, 90, 95 and in some cases 99%.

They also learned that these techniques to deal with their stammering was not a permanent solution. Stammering has the habit of relapsing, so therefore it was necessary to keep working on it constantly without any breaks. Order long period of time, which could be different for different people, the intensity of their practice would be slowly reduced.

The solution to stammering, stuttering and speaking impediments was ready, with completely natural ways to defeat it.
