It IS true, however, that more care on the part of the parent in looking after the formation of speech habits in the Pre-Speaking and Formative Periods of the child's speech development, would result in fewer cases of chronic stammering and stuttering in later life. This Speech-Setting Period marks two very important events in the speech development of the child.
The simple suggestions offered for the assistance of those in the Formative or Speech-Setting Periods would be of little value here because the growth of the individual has made the eradication of the trouble quite improbable without a complete re-education along correct speech lines best obtained from an institution devoting its efforts to that work.
From the standpoint of speech development, the life of any person between the time of birth and the age of twenty-one years, may be divided into four periods as follows: From Birth to Age 2 PRE-SPEAKING PERIOD. Age 2 to Age 6 FORMATIVE-SETTING PERIOD Age 6 to Age 11 SPEECH-SETTING PERIOD Age 11 to Age 20 ADOLESCENT PERIOD
CHANCES FOR OUTGROWING AT THIS AGE: The opportunities for the stammering or stuttering child to outgrow his trouble are about five times as great in the Formative Period, between the ages of 2 and 6, as they are in the Speech-Setting Period, from 6 to 11.
