How big does genes play for those who stutter?

How big does genes play for those who stutter? My wife and I are expecting our first child later this spring. We have over the moon and blessed to become a family of three however my wife is considere...

Hola. Como está tu hijo un año después. El mío tiene 5 y medio y ahora lleva 6 meses también con bloqueos con las mismas sílabas que el tuyo. Ojalá puedes responderme y contarme vuestra experiencia. G...

How old are your children? Do any of them stutter too?...

You can contact the Canadian Stuttering Association via csa-info@stutter.ca and ask to speak with the family and youth programming coordinator, they can help you and your son find resources and suppor...

Estamos con terapia y por ahora seguimos con disfluencias. En verano los bloqueos eran más severos y ahora tiene semanas mejores y peores, hay semanas en las que está fluido al 80%, nunca al 100% y lu...

It doesn't make sense to say that "it got in the way of acceptance" when we're talking about a child at the onset of stuttering....

Way too early. Just let him develop on his own. If he expresses an interest in therapy, then help. But I warn you might make the problem worse by trying to over correct....

I would agree. Someone struggling hard with stuttering at the moment could find their negative thoughts reinforced by this sub and the hopeless attitude it encourages. However, in contrast, the bigg...

That sucks, kiddo. I follow this sub as a father to two kids who stutter. How are your private conversations with them? I'm guessing they don't have enough patience to talk with you about how it bot...

No they don't but my older brother does, although not nearly as severely as I do. I find it interesting that most people who stutter are male (I'm a woman.) My middle son stuttered a bit around age 3,...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's rough when you don't know if this is a common experience or not when parenting a child that stutters. We don't know any other families that have kid...

OP, you did not tell us if your child has a stutter. Does your child have a stutter?...

Same here. My 6 year old doesn't stutter but my almost 3 year old just started and it's pretty bad... She has an evaluation this week for therapy....
