Hi everyone. My stepson, who is nearly thirteen and stutters, and I have recently joined this group after discovering it through Benetalk. He also attends virtual appointments on Saturdays. Could you...

I do agree with you about needing socialization. The way we did it, there were always lots of weekly classes and meetups with other children. I also agree with you about the importance of sports! I'm...

Most kids grow out of their speech issues with the proper treatment. My wife grew up poor and there wasn't any proper speech therapy when she was young and despite the support of her family (her dad a...

Your exercises make sense. My son started stuttering while learning to talk around the age of 2. Since I’ve stuttered most of my life, I knew a speech therapist to ask for help. She suggested a very s...

Why not seek help?

Looking for advice: onset stuttering in 4 year old

Looking for advice: onset stuttering in 4 year old I'm looking for advice and perspective to help my 4 year old son. I'll try to keep the back story short. About 4 months ago my almost 4 1/2 year ol...

I’m not sure what friends who stutter is, but I will look into getting her involved....

All I can tell you is, the younger the therapy starts, the better the chances to rework the speech pathways and learn the tools are. My daughter started stuttering around 3yrs old and her pediatrici...

Hey, how is it going now? Im in the same boat. My son is 6 in 2 months and has been stammering since 3.4 years. Weve tried PCI, lidcombe, and no help. Its really hard. Have you seen any improvement? X...

This is a recommendation and some caveats about what worked for me and my son. First of all I would just reiterate that children under the age of 6 can be treated in a way in which older children and...

I'd highly recommend the Lidcombe program - My 4.5 year son stuttered badly and 4 months later he is almost completely stutter free. As a parent who went through it though I would say the main things ...
