As an older person, 51, these are things i wish i had been taught in speech therapy but i never was We should teach kids it's okay to stutter and that when they do stutter, rather than getting upset, they should show themselves some grace and dont beat themselves up over it. How do you handle what happens after they stutter and have a bad presentation or whatever? How to handle those feelings Breathing is the key to fluency. If you are stuttering over a block. Stop talking. (Forcing it, never works. ) Instead, take a breath and on the exhale try again. This exhale breath relaxes your vocal cords making it so much easier to talk. Fluency isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, encourage them to find something that works for them and let them tell you about it. Give them ownership of it, i was taught everything had to be their way and their way only and that didn't work for me.
