I started stuttering in kindergarten. I went to speech therapy for a while and they said that it would eventually go away. Their tip for my mom was to never mention the stutter to me. My stutter was moderate. Around grades 5-6 many people reminded me that I stutter, even one of the teachers. I realized they viewed stutter as something bad when we had a talk just the two of us and she said “you know you..(*whispers*) stutter?” That’s when I knew she viewed it as a bad thing and that’s the first time I felt like I shouldn’t speak at all. She fucking whispered the word stutter! I became anxious and depressed and my biggest fear was to call strangers or even friends. I sometimes didn’t want to talk with friends cause I was scared that even they would judge me and some tried to say funny stuff about my stutter. I was sensitive. After being anxious from the age of 9/10, I decided at the age of 23 to seek help. I got medicine for my anxiety and depression and now after a year, I barely stutter. I now can make calls and order food without feeling like I’m about to die and I rarely think of my stutter. :) My tips for you would be to supportive and help her be confident in who she is. Being insecure makes the stutter much worse cause when anxious you start to tense muscles and breathing can be “tense”. Most kids will grow out of it but if she doesn’t, please do your best to not get impatient when she’s speaking and it might take a while, don’t tell her stuff like “speak slower it helps” and focus on making her confident! Therapy might help, might not. Only time will tell.
