**Great message! Love it so much!** My summary: * Stuttering is no joke and can feel like a snake coiling around your throat, choking off your words and leaving you struggling to speak * We might experience: being interrupted, spoken over, or rushed through our sentences by well-meaning parents who think they're helping. But, when you don't let your child finish their words or complete their sentences, you're not helping – you're hurting * Stuttering isn't just about the words we say – it's about feeling heard and respected, and giving your child the space and time they need to express themselves fully, without fear of judgment or interruption
