When I used to follow therapy to improve my stutter,we had to do a family exercise which increased my families understanding of living with a stutter tremendously and reduced their ridicule of my sign...

>What do you wish your parents had done differently when you were a child who spoke with a stutter? I wish they didn't compare me to other kids. They told me I would be a failure because I got a l...

Advices for parents who are anxious about their children's stuttering

Advices for parents who are anxious about their children's stuttering I see recently 2 parents coming on this sub complaining about their children getting started on stuttering, and at a loss what to ...

Whatever you do, dont force or want him to be "fluent" The pressure my parents gave me to read and speak fluently dramatically affected how much I stutter, always listen to him no matter how much he ...

The presenter was careful to add the disclaimer that it might not be true for everyone. Genetics can have something to do with it, but the stigma some parents put on their stuttering children can and ...

Hi. I am not a parent of a child who stutters, but I am someone who stutters. I would start by saying that you are already doing the right thing by looking around for help and feedback. A few more poi...

My son is still to young, but i'm trying to learn as much as i can for the future. Gonna read up on it. Thanks...

Hi, My son started stuttering some months back, and at first I wanted to do the Lidcombe programme. But I found two studies that made me doubt it. The first study removed the negative verbal conting...

We tried and it was not effective for us. I think it's really patronising- praising your child for speaking fluently. And then pointing out their disfluency. Yeah am not a fan....

We tried Lidcombe with our 5 year old for about 3-4 months and it didn’t really take with him. I think the part where we had to constantly be commenting on his speech was tiring for him, even in a s...

I just had a daughter a few months ago. Believe me once you hold your kid for the first time, this will be the last thing on your mind....

Thanks a lot, your words make a lot of sense. It's just one month away, and all of a sudden I went into full panic mode today and broke down into tears once I started thinking my soon to be kid could...

I’m so glad that you posted this question because I’d love to have kids one day but I feel so guilty thing about how I’m passing on a stutter and all of my other “issues”. This gives me hope that it’s...

As a parent, it's hard not to think about those things, but in reality everyone is flawed and your child is going to be dealing with something. It may be even be an advantage if your child's "somethi...

The question is: Do you want a baby? Do you think you will be a great parent? If so, do it. It doesnt matter that much that the baby stutter if it has great and supportive parents. And in 20 years, w...

Venting about my son's stutter.

Venting about my son's stutter. Today was a rough day and while doing homework (he is 8) he had a breakdown and started to cry. Kids at school are starting to notice and think he is stupid. I've poste...

I would say no. Taking a child to speech therapy, can make them feel like they have a problem. I know thats how it made me feel when I was a child, and that feeling can actually amplify the stutterin...

same thing my parents did to me. they thought my mind was just "fast" that my mouth cant keep up. they literally sent me to a psychiatrist and had to do a bunch of iq test and all that shit...

I will get into someone's shit if I find out their kid stutters and they expect the child will grow out of it....

I feel as child with a stutter I just want anyone to understand me. Even my parents would just say " breath and calm down". No one trully got how I felt and I think that was the worst part about havin...
