Seeking advice for my son I (F27) honestly don’t know where to start but I found this subreddit one day after watching my son (M7) struggle for the last 4 years. I thought I’d give it a try see what people who actually stutter had to say. I’m just looking on how to help him as a mom. It sucks so much watching him struggle for words and the constant breathing in like he’s choking to say a word out. He gets so frustrated sometimes with himself, he wants to quit talking. I tell him not to give up and to give it a try again, I try to remind him how smart he is daily. We tried speech therapy for 2 years and I felt like it was such a waste of money. It didn’t even help him. As of now I tell him to stop when he’s choking on air and breathe in, as to relax. I have no idea if this helps or makes it worse. Any advice or suggestions on how to help him I would really appreciate it.
