Hi! I see you got great advice here already🙂 We've been through the same process, our son is now 4.5 years old and still stutter/stammer. He started overnight when he was 2.5, and next day it was r...

Thank you - I too think the remember comment was a not correct, just the way he could articulate it to me. I think I do need to take second and chill out. I’m just keen to avoid anything that is trig...

Just make sure that he never feels like you treat him like he is less capable than his siblings/friends because of his speech. You said you will support him through thick and thin so I have no worries...

"Cannot remember the words" is likely a lie. He got frustrated and took the easy out. First thing you need to do is make sure \*your\* energy is positive. Kids are super receptive. If he detects that...

I agree with Delphineftw. Don’t show negative emotion towards his speech. Also try not to interrupt, say the word for him or “relax” etc. My parents did this a lot out of good intention but it only ma...

Thank you - yep, definitely never want him to see me sad under any circumstances. I only ever want to lift him up. My partner and i are just back from speech place think and will look into a speech ...

It’s very interesting that you mention hard blinking, as there was a stage of hard blinking that lasted about two weeks around a month ago. It didn’t last. But I had not made that connection until now...

Create a slow pace speaking environment at home. This means everybody must speak with longer pauses and pause more often. Wait a few seconds more before responding to his question. And give him a few ...

My three year old

My three year old Hi all, hope everyone is well. I really don’t really know what to say here, but perhaps looking for some advice. Some do’s, some do nots. This sub seems to be full of positivity a...

Im a mom to 5year ear old. I have problems when reading Pepa Pigs Books for example. I stutter on P, so she would say word instead of me. She has never made fun of me or laughed I think she’s just exc...

My son also made fun of me once. After I removed his fingernail with a pair of pliers, he never did it again. Jk, we talked about it as well and I asked him how he would feel if kids at school made ...

I'm a stepdad to my girlfriend's 6 year old. I've been in his life full time since he was like 2 years old, so for extensively his whole life. Granted, my stutter is normally on the more mild side, bu...

Hey im a dad who stutters. My kids are quite young tho, 2.5 and 1. So i dont think theyve noticed yet...

I think being a mom has improved my stutter enormously. I'm forced to chat to other parents, make small talk etc. Most people don't bother about it so my social anxiety has calmed. My girls only had...

I'm a dad who stutters. I do a pretty good job of concealing it, so it's usually not too big of a deal. My kids get pretty angry and bothered on those very rare occasions when people do laugh, but I t...

Parents of children who stutter

Parents of children who stutter What kind of strategies did speech pathologists give to to do at home with your child/ren? Or did you find/use any strategies by looking online. Were any of them succes...

I grew up with a stutter and still occasionally "chew on my words" , I now am bless to be a father of a child with a massive stutter, mostly consisting of blocking. My child is not his stutter, he is ...

Hello, I’m 22M so still remember a lot of things my parents would do to ‘help’ me. My mum sheltered me for most of my childhood. Stuff like making phone calls for me, saying what I wanted at restaur...

Just give him a stress free environment, make him do what he likes , make him explore things ❤️ that’s the best a parent can do … since I’m 25 year old stutter ig I have a right to comment on that ! ...

I would personally suggest that the parents do not speak on the child's behalf, such as ordering meals at restaurants and the like. My parents did this (in good faith, they didn't know any better) and...
