When my kids were younger they had some signs of it. We had both of them tested ana all wa well. They're 17 and 14 now and have no problems. Before they got tested I was distraught that I might have p...

My dad and I both stutter. His is far worse, although getting better. I had speech therapy as a child which helped a lot. We don’t talk about our stutter at all although I do think about it when I see...

We can't live our lives trying to avoid suffering. My parents weren't stutterers and I wish one of them was. If your child does end up stuttering, he or she will be lucky to have a parent who has gone...

This is why I will never have a child, I don't want them to go through the pain I went through, i'd rather adopt....

Both my parents used to stutter in their childhoods, they both got rid of it before i was born so i couldnt have developed it by listening to them, might be coincidence, might be genetics. In any way ...

My problem is with people making a conscious decision to have a child, knowing they might have some health problems/handicaps, like the guy I replied to. Like people with down syndrome having babies, ...

How did folks’ parents respond to your stuttering? Mine never mentioned it and seem to pretend that I didn’t stutter, which has had some bad effects on me I think. I’m wondering about the range of parental responses to stuttering for folks here.

I have the same issue. My mom is extremely caustic and judgmental though. Someties I wonder she's the reason I stutter...

Growing up, my parents and grandparents main focus is to find a "cure" for me at all costs. Every time I would stutter they would make a comment. Even though their intentions were good, this put anxie...

When I was pretty young (like 12 and under) my mom wouldn't really talk about it with me but she was obviously worried because my uncle would always tell her I'd grow out of it; spoiler alert, still h...

Wow, that's great. Coming from an immigrant background, my parents never really addressed my stutter. They weren't rude or anything bad about it, but neither did they really show much support into hel...

I have to admit, I'm on the same wavelength as reddictaccountiuse -- I'm detecting with some of your comments hints that you think it's your son's fault that he wasn't able to follow through with the ...

Are you pushing for speech therapy or is he? By saying it hurts you to hear your brother stutter, I think you never got over yours. Remember, your instincts could go overboard and turn a small prob...

If he were comfortable with his speech I would be okay with it- honestly. My brother is okay with his stutter to this day and while it may hurt me to hear it- Im grateful he’s at peace with it. My so...

Over the years from age 4-roughly 10 we’d used several. We’re in NY so through Montefiore in the city and several private practitioners...one was even a stutterer and that was a big gamble but she cam...

I don’t know what to feel knowing I’m not the only one... My stuttering first appeared when I was around eight, and my mom was convinced that I talk like that to be cute or something(like wtf). But y...

Hate to break this to you, but your family, and your friend's family, are terrible people. What a ridiculous thing to say. Edit: I can imagine the frustration and rage you feel....

My daughter is in a similar situation except I stutter too (mom). And honestly, I haven't been rushing into therapy currently because there is an ebb and flow to her stutter where it improves and wors...

I guess it's just the fact that the pediatrician said to wait a while that made me think about waiting. What if she naturally "grows out of it" in a few weeks or months and it never returns? I'm just...

> If you wait too long to start speech therapy for her, the effects from the therapy won't be as effective. Our Pediatrician said not to worry unless it really gets much worse or if it continues ...
