Put him in sports if he’s interested! Being on a team, while sometimes challenged me socially, was probably the best thing my parents did for me when I was young. I know you say he’s only 3 so maybe t...

Someone made fun of my son today

Someone made fun of my son today I know it won’t be the last time. But I’m sad. Angry. Furious. He’s 6. He told the kid to stop and of course he didn’t. The kid is about his age, and if I had to guess...

He is shy, he mostly likes bigger people who are less loud and have patience. His peer time is mostly either in a therapeutic setting (meaning speech in pre k), a library, or with his family present. ...

Hi! Any update? Hope your little ones are okay. My almost 3 yr old is about to start speech therapy for stuttering and I’m feeing very defeated as well....

Question from a parent

Question from a parent I have a very young child (3) who has developed a persistent stutter. We're in speech therapy and this is diagnosed. What I am wondering is a little less about treatment directl...

Thank you so much, this reassures me and gives me confidence to keep going. I really hope we’ll see positive results. My daughter loves to talk and she’s still very chatty despite the stutter, so I re...

Thank you so much. I already feel a lot of guilt for not consulting earlier. My biggest fear is that she might lose confidence in herself and lose the love for language she has. I’ll do everything I c...

Exactly.  My daughter has a stutter that impacts her life significantly (she’s 15).  Every single time I mention it to one of my friends they say something like “are you sure?  It can’t be that bad, I...

Disclaimer: I am an SLP (I also stutter), but my opinion in this forum cannot be used to diagnose anything or confirm anything with certainty. What I say going forward is based off my own experiences....

Disclaimer I am not an SLP. I think you're conflating the two terms. A developmental stutter would turn into a persistent stutter. Yes, there are cases of late onset stuttering, but that's off topi...

How to tell if a young child has developmental or persistent stuttering? Looking for advice. My 2.5 year old son has been stuttering for about 4 months. It began as stuttering on the first syllable of...

Hola. El mío tiene 5 años y 8 meses y lleva 8 meses con tartamudez. Hasta los 5 años hablaba muy bien, y con buena pronunciación. A finales de agosto y septiembre estuvo muy bloqueado y empecé con B1....

Funny thing when i was younger my dad thought i stuttered because i was copying porky and stopped me from watching looney toons😭...

I started stuttering age 11 or 12. Before that I was fluent.  I was in speech therapy when I was five or six years old. But that was because of "s" and "sh" sounds I seem to have had problems with. ...

He’s a little over 3 now and I took him to speech therapy. He went 4 times and they said that he didn’t need it and the stutter was just developmental. He doesn’t do it as much anymore but sometimes h...

I never expected a response! Really great to hear your kid is doing good! My boy is nearly 7 and has stammered since he could talk but recently it has ramped up and he is becoming aware of it himself,...

I wonder if the OP would still see this, I am going through all of this as a parent of a nearly 7 year old. I have read all of the comments and find them so helpful. Does anyone have any experience or...

I’m confused. Need help.

I’m confused. Need help. I am 14 and just started stuttering within the past 6 months. What is the explanation for this? It doesn’t happen a ton but often enough to be annoying. My friends tease me ab...

I do not stutter but my wife does. I actually never thought that my wife's speech would be an "issue" - we meshed, fell in love and now live our lives together. Also, I had (probably still have) dysle...
