Parent with a stutter Wondering if there are any parents with stutters or kids with parents who stutter here? About to have a baby, and I’m terrified that I will “teach” my kid to stutter. Is this a valid concern? My mom has constantly told me that I “picked mine up” at a daycare where another child stuttered. I’m skeptical, but also don’t want my child to experience the struggle (although there are some benefits) of having a stutter. How has having a parent with a stutter affected you? How have you talked to your kids about your stutter? Edit: Baby has arrived! I appreciate y’all’s perspective and feel much better about this. Even if she does inherit my stutter, she’ll have the best support system. Obligatory thanks for the gold! This is a great community.
