Wow that sounds like a really challenging situation, definitely a lot of pressure to put on you as a child. I don't stutter myself, I'm a speech therapist and have friends and colleagues who stutter....

I would highly recommend Palin Parent-Child interaction therapy if it's available where you live. It is internationally known intervention. It looks at parents communication with the child and is play...

is that really what the program advises to the parents? Only give a response if the child does something wrong? The concept of a child that age doing right or wrong, is an interesting in itself....

Our child was around 3.5 when the stuttering started suddenly. It would disappear for weeks and then come back again. We finally saw a speech therapist who confirmed it was real stuttering, and we sta...

Your kid sounds like me. I'll have weeks where you'd never know, and then weeks where I struggle to get a word out. You learn to adapt. It's great that you seem to really care. Good job....

The program has a very good concept that puts the parents at the center of helping their children. This is 1000% the right approach. My parents made the mistake of not helping me when I was younger. T...

Thank you so much for your input! I’ll look to see if there’s any providers near us. We homeschool, which is both good and bad when it comes to speech. We loose some of the free resources, but because...

Okay so I’m a speech therapist so take this with a grain of salt! A lot of speech therapists are unfortunately hesitant to work with people who stutter because they feel under qualified so I would def...

first off, you're doing all the right things by staying calm and not putting pressure on him. I know it must be incredibly hard given your own history with stuttering. seeing an SLP next week is the r...

We went through a similar thing at 2.5 with our oldest kiddo and a parent who blocked. We did all the things you are doing and started speech therapy and went for about a year. As the parent who had n...

I don't have kids, but my mother has told me multiple times how she went through exactly what you're going through. Living with a stutter is tough, but if it truly is a stutter, it's not like taking...

Like other said, this is too early to tell if his stutter will be long lasting. But assuming it is, there's not much you can do. As we all know, there's no magic drug or therapy. Just practice slowly ...

I had a phase when i didn’t stutter much, i was going to speech therapy at that moment (i started in feb 2024 and stopped therapy after December 2024). I really wish i had continued it. And with me i ...

I didn’t have that kind of support too because my parents were immigrants and had to work hard to survive. I wanted to change that for my children. ...

Thank you for this. I've been told if he's doing fine then to just leave it but I was worried this could happen so I will check in with him about it...

No history but my son has stutter. He is now 14. I don’t think I’ve worked as hard on any of my kids as I have on this one. First because he is the eldest and second because I know he has a slight dis...
