I don’t stutter but have a daughter who does. She is 6. I’m trying my best to encourage her to be confident. Does anyone have any tips I can use to help her? We’ve also been told it’s ‘rare’ for it to...

Hi! I'll just paste what I answered another parent a while back :) Our son started to stutter when he was 2.5 years old. We felt the choice of program (Lidcombe etc..) was very important, and befo...

Hi I am 20M. The comments under this post are really helpful. Not old enough but have been stuttering my whole life. Only thing I'll recommend is to be hard on your kid because he is just 13. Once he ...

Hey there. Maybe start by taking her out that doesn't have much to do with talking. If she initially doesn't want to ho out, start by proposing something she's usually comfortable with (like some kind...

The hard part for me is staying on low carb/keto. I find heavy resistance traing (5x5) to be very effective as mentioned. But the periods where I’ve maintained low carb, going into ketosis I’ve notice...

I'm a middle aged man and I've been stuttering since I was 5 years old. My stutter has always been tied to a feeling of intense stress and anxiety when I speak or deal with difficult topics, people, ...

Most people that stutter grow up with extreme fear of getting judged by others. regardless of the severity of their stutter, they start experiencing other issues like people pleasing and social anxiet...

She can’t help… stuttering is not intentional and she has no control over it. Tell her that she is perfect and she can take her time to finish her sentences. Be patient with her. It may or may not go ...

Well I’m not a speech therapist or anything that’s why I came here to ask those who actually deal with a stutter. she asks me for help on how to get her words out otherwise I would not have input on i...

Don't tell her to slow down. With all due respect, you don't know anything about stuttering and we've all had unsolicited advice like that and it's helped 0 of us. Saying slow down only adds to the st...

My bad I should’ve worded it better in the post. I don’t tell her to not talk like that in those exact words. I tell her slow down and say one word at a time. She gets frustrated when she stutters and...

>I’ll tell her to slow down and to not talk like that and she’ll stop talking like that. Absolutely don't do this. Let her talk how she talks. Stuttering isn't a big deal. It only becomes a problem ...

Hmm maybe but we really really try to avoid giving our kids any access to YouTube at all. I did read somewhere that Netflix has the ability to slow shows down but I haven't tried it yet....

Been there, still am, we tried to find shows for my son that has a little slower speech, but to be honest it's not easy. The characters are also talking way faster than natural speed for children that...

I would recommend not to do speech therapy honestly.  It gave me tips that stayed with me for decades but not in a good way.  I'd elongate until I was blue in the face with forward flow and I finally ...

I stutter and also I had two kids, only my daughter stutters, not my son. I am going to try to be brief on this to give you another perspective. My daughter is a mild stutterer since she first started...

I don’t think there is a replacement for being a warm and responsive parent. It’s not just inheritance that matters but the environment does too. Even with a genetic predisposition it doesn’t mean the...

I see! Thank you! Any advice in laymens terms for parents with a stutter who have kids? (Ie, as a woman, my child has a 30% chance of inheriting my stutter and I’m hoping to minimize this chance). I d...

Yeah we do things like that, I always give her the choice to read or not read or submit things in other formats. I've spoken to her mom but she's not interested in any intervention....

I do my best, I guide her through (I stutter and had years and years of speech therapy) and I'll always ask "do you want to read?" and she says yes. Her friends are supportive and they all laugh toget...
