I’m a lifelong stutterer yet when our daughter was 3-4 years old she started stuttering. Also my mother in law stuttered for many years. Of course I was scared and maybe horrified. What I didn’t know ...

One advice, please don't expose him to any environment where someone would potentially point out his stammering and make him feel uncomfortable about it. Because it has happened to me in my childhood...

You're a good parent to be worried and quick to look for solutions, but look at it from his perspective for a bit. When he stumbles and your demeanor changes, he will read that as a stress sign becaus...

As a man who was at the age of 3 and now 34 still with the speech impediment. Worst thing is to panic and please be patient and tender when he tries to speak or habe any retention. There is no cure al...

It's good to know that you're genuinely concerned for her. Here are some things that I think you should definitely try for her: First get her into speech therapy soon, because at a young age you're li...

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write all of this. She is more like you in her make-up in that she is on the shy side. Do you think I should encourage her to try and talk to kids more, or...

Please don’t make a tragedy out of it. I was 10 times more stressed when I saw my parents scared, and feeling all kinds of uncomfortable because of my speech. Instead, spend time with her, and try to ...

As humans, and even more so as kids, we need external validation. Lot of people that stutter end up having psychological trauma because they don’t get this external validation from the society, and ca...

She’s lucky to have a dad this aware and cares this much. You’re doing just fine. Always empower her to speak when she wants and be patient if she has blocks and is struggling. Never stop telling he...

My dad forced me to read a book aloud when i was younger. But i was always crying because he would scold me. If you could, maybe you can be more loving and nurturing when youre trying to practice talk...

Therapy is great, but she needs to meet other kids who stutter. The National Stuttering Association has some great resources: westutter.org/families/ Also the Stuttering Association for the Young: sa...

Great initiative. Two things: 1) Wherever you can, create a space where she can speak without feeling judged, where she can take all the time she needs and feel listened, regardless of fluency. This ...

I think it's very hard for her to have less negative feelings about her stutter because of her maturity. All you can do is be supportive and provide her lots of love...

Thank you. I have her in early intervention but the therapist she is matched up with didn’t have a stutter and I wonder if she truly gets the gist of how challenging it is for her. I’m very concerned ...

Thank you for this illustration. It helps to picture it. I’ve had her in early intervention for years, but I don’t feel it’s helping her with the social aspect. Her stutter is not debilitating to the ...

Hi everybody- your expertise requested (yes you!)

Hi everybody- your expertise requested (yes you!) Hi everybody. I have an eight year old daughter (who has a stutter) who I love more than life itself. Her stutter is getting in the way of her making...

Of course! In fact I have 2 kids! Still too young to know if they will stammer or not, I honestly couldn't care less which way it goes. The way I see it, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with stamm...

Both my girlfriend and I have a stammer. We met on a speech programme. Your comment made me smile and feel relief for if we were to have kids, they would have two parents who understand and support th...

I have two children and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Honestly, the fact that I stutter never really crossed my mind when thinking about having kids. I really don't think it's something I woul...

I have a three year old. Best thing to happen to me. If he stutters, then he will have a parent who understands and can support him. So far he hasn't though!...
