Put him in sports if he’s interested! Being on a team, while sometimes challenged me socially, was probably the best thing my parents did for me when I was young. I know you say he’s only 3 so maybe t ball? Or soccer or swimming! As he gets older, if his stutter persists, he’ll have a good structured social activity that doesn’t involve much talking. Plus, it builds confidence and is a good outlet for energy and stress! Of course, if he’s really not into it, don’t force him. If he’s more into music, sign him up for guitar/drums/piano lessons! Also just going to affirm what everyone else is saying. Don’t cut him off, try not to react when he stutters. If he sees you respond to it, he will mirror That behavior. The hardest part for me as a kid was when my parents would tell me to slow down, start over, or use my techniques. This was especially hard when I was really excited about something because usually I would stutter more than normal. My parents would shut me down and tell me to start over, which mainly told me that they weren’t listening to what I was saying but how I would say it. I would start the sentence over and use my techniques to make them happy, but over time I just stopped talking as much and became very withdrawn. Maybe instead of telling him to slow down, let him finish his sentence and then ask him how he felt about it if he is showing a lot of tension or reacting negatively to it. A lot of my tension comes from trying to hide or minimize my stutter, which is fairly common. If I grew up in a home where it was okay to stutter, I wouldn’t have tried to fight it so much. The fighting is what causes tension for me. I get self conscious and go into fight or flight, then I can’t get any air out and hit a block. Best of luck to you and your son. You’re asking the right questions which is a good place to start!
