It sounds like your´re doing the right things. Unfortunately you have to be patient, with your child as well as with the effects of the speech therapy....

I’m going through the same thing with my 6 year old. It was intermittent to start but is now constant. We’re also currently in speech therapy. We have also been given similar advice; allow them time t...

Nope. Some people give up. You won’t give up because you came here first. Stuttering is hard. You can get some free therapy on YouTube. Keep fighting! Talk to your parents, have them work with you to ...

Not all kids are the same, so take this with a grain of salt. My parents rarely acknowledged my stutter, and always pushed me to speak for myself. I credit my improved fluency and confidence to that. ...

You are a caring man. Your empathy for and acceptance of this child will be very valuable to his life. Yes, there is a duality that you are unsure if you should continue meeting with him because of y...

I only read rhyming books like dr suess and sing alongs. Anything where I could change my pattern to more melodic. Since he can read now, we read books at the same time, then discuss them. (like a b...

About to welcome my first kid into the world, and I am worried about my future daughter stuttering. For all this worry though, if she does stutter, my silver lining approach is to be a positive role m...

This is my attempt to extract important information from the video: * disfluencies and stuttering-like disfluencies are completely different * as a parent, make space for the child to talk. Because s...

Yes, it is too early. One mistake my parents made, I felt, was withdrawing from me and treating me differently because I was no longer perfect. It's important that your girl doesn't perceive any di...

Im just going to paste what I answered another parent a couple of weeks back, we went through this process in 2021. Hi! We felt the choice of program (Lidcombe etc..) was very important, and befor...

From my experience, you should talk to your son about stuttering and have a constant open dialogue about it. My grandma stuttered too and we never spoke about it. It was always an unspoken bond we sha...

OP's son is in a great position, I would have been so grateful to have a parent who stutters and could better understand and empathize with me. Hopefully OP isn't teaching their son that stuttering is...

Imo, you are looking at it the wrong way. You can be a better father to your son by being a role-model to him and encourage him to accept his stuttering. There is a very good chance that you passed it...

I’m glad you’ve received great advice from the other comments. In addition to getting an early assessment I will still highly recommend creating an encouraging and loving environment. As you mentioned...

You are taking good care of your daughter. Breathing exercises(diaphragmatic breathing) help a lot. Make it a habit, a family routine to do slow breathing exercises, it helps everyone, not just the pe...

First off I have to say good job, you sound like a great parent👏 I second the other comment about spending quality/focused time with your daughter every day. Most off the stuttering programs for kid...

Strongly seconded - even if we ignore the political aspects of 'fluency' and construction of normalacy treating the child's speech as normal and encouraging them to speak regardless and that if people...

contact the university of austin stuttering lab. do not contact any organization that promotes a cure or a fix. allow your child to speak as much as possible stutter or not. they need to understand it...

Don't put her in therapy, please. If you just give her room and time to speak, be patient, don't make questioning faces. It'll go away. By reinforcing the idea that stammering is bad or undesirable, i...
