Hi, This is a familiar story for many of us. The problem is that doctors and teachers doesn't know anything about stuttering, even many speech language pathologists know little about stuttering. The recommended approach is get help as early as possible from someone who specializes in stuttering. Edit: Of course you can post here! :) Your daughter's story is normal, starting around age 3. For most kids, and especially girls, it's likely they grow out of it. Some things make it more likely to be persistent though, like family history of stuttering since stuttering is very genetic. If she at this point has stuttered for 3 years that is a risk factor as well. It's important to find someone who specializes in stuttering, because stuttering is not that common and there is so much misinformation out there. If you try to google how to help your daughter you will find good and bad approaches. What do I wish was done for me as a kid? Being able to talk openly about it and not feel preassure to "be OK" with my stuttering. I was really not OK with it, but my parents didn't even know, I was all alone with my fears, shame etc. And I had/have good parents, they really did what they thought was best. This is a common problem, parents don't want to draw attention to it, and what can the kid think then? His/hers biggest problem that everyone sees and hears but parents pretends is not there, the conclusion often becomes that this must be something so shameful to talk about that we pretend it's OK. Every kid is different though, all I'm saying is that this is a common problem. A good SLP will address every aspect in the treatment. Trying to reduce the amount of stuttering of course, which is not always successful, but also working on the mental aspect, which is just as important.
