Toddler Stuttering

Toddler Stuttering Hello! My daughter just turned 4 and started preschool last month. Over the past week or so, we have noticed that she is starting to stutter/stammer when speaking. For example, she ...

I would either cold turkey or slowly taper off caffeine over the next week, switch to only decaf coffee. Maybe after a month you can have a cup of green tea daily (hits different + super healthy). I o...

Victory post and my personal journey so far

Victory post and my personal journey so far Wanted to make a small (big?) victory post and talk about my personal journey dealing with a stutter for the past decade. Around 2018-2019 my stutter was a...

I was lucky to find the “cure” for my stuttering. It was not overnight success. It took a few months of dedication in order for me to learn how to breathe for speech....

For me it's quite noticeable the negative effect that caffeine has on my stutter (+ anxiety too). There's also the loop where you use caffeine because you're constantly tired and don't rest enough, wh...

I quit caffeine completely for 3 months. I realized i am never properly rested while on caffeine. By quitting I mean ALL caffeine. You should try...

Mmm for me Caffeine improves my strutting but I only take it on occaison because I don't want to get myself addicted to it. Maybe being addcited to it is the problem because I used to be addctied to p...

I can tell you coffee made me very unwell when I started drinking it. It was gradual so I took me months to figure out what it was. I would go cold turkey if you can and you should see improvements qu...

You're missing the forest for the trees here. Caffeine isn't your problem. It's your lack of good rest. If improving, your fluency is a priority, eliminate something that is a lower priority and u...

How do you deal with passive stress?

How do you deal with passive stress? I know that the more you speak the less you stutter. But I noticed that passive stress like lack of sleep, job or university problems causes bigger impact than mee...

Hi I was never one for breakfast, but when I started my help desk role I ate for sure.  If it calms down nerves I would have done it.  I think that phased out after a few months though. In my curren...

I’m currently drug-free outside of taking some supplements now and then. Not saying that the above won’t help, but exercise, diet, sleep and cutting down on drinking has helped my speech more than any...

Agree with the protein diet. Reducing carbs reduces sugars in the body, which in turn reduces dopamine surges in the brain… all very good for stutterers. Exercise, obviously more blood flow in the br...

lol, cool! Do you read aloud daily too? I hear this helps rewire the brains speech pathways to improve fluency, along with exercise (20–30 min, brisk walk, cycling, running): increases BDNF (brain-de...

yeah it might increase it a bit for me. if you're a coffee lover - after you first 2, switch to decaf...

For me it's the opposite. Working out for me is mentally draining (I work out 5 times a week) and that only makes my stutter worse. ...

Take note of what you’re eating/drinking when you feel the most dysfluent in your speech. For me, caffeine and sugar makes me much worse!...

For me, physical health for sure plays a role in my speech. Amount of sleep, proper hydration and food, are all factors...
