Something that helped my daughter was letting her read aloud into a recorder and play it back. Hearing herself really boosted her confidence over time....

Something that really helped me growing up & wished my parents did more. Was have me read poems or books out loud. Poems help more due to the flow and rhythms. Have him read out loud at least once eve...

Speech therapy at home

Speech therapy at home Hi all, Parent of two here. Our youngest is 7 and gets speech and reading support at school for decoding difficulties and occasional letter confusion. It's helping, and I'd lov...

Hello, stutterer since I was 4 (accident). Support her no matter what, listen to her, let her speak at home without finishing the sentences. Just let her know she is accepted with all the issues she h...

I would advise you to not show him the agitation or act as if stuttering is a bad thing at all. Show him theres nothing wrong with him, thats important especially coming from his mom, more important t...

We have a lot of parent threads similar to this. Here's a reply i wrote recently that would double for you https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1o4h78t/comment/nj2bpta/?utm_source=share&utm_mediu...

Thank you!!! I will do that this week & will search for more parent posts, too. Yes, the straining appears uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem to bother him....

Mom to an 8 y/o child who has a stutter advice

Mom to an 8 y/o child who has a stutter advice My 8 year old son has a stutter. It started when he was 4-5 and seems to be worse when he is overtired or anxious. Sometimes he will go months without it...

Oh, I was that kid once! The only real memory I have of elementary school is my whole class yelling at me because they got mad at my stutter, lol. Everyone else has provided really excellent advice, e...

My daughter stutters (as do I). One of the best things we ever did for her was to arrange for me to speak to her class each year of elementary school. I’d go in, talk about what stuttering is, talk ab...

I agree but as a parent you really do everything that you can for your child. My son left martial arts after he got black belt because he didn’t particularly enjoy it. The journey to black belt takes ...

I believe this is good advice for SOME kids. If it’s a kid that hates sports/martial arts, the stress of it could make his speech worse. I’d totally encourage them to try these things, but not force t...

I never got put in speech therapy. But I stuttered from before school age. You are never going stop kids being kids. He's going to be made fun of at some point. Every kid is. The stutter is just an ea...

Patience, patience, patience. Your response to it will help her a lot. Just treat her like you did before she stuttered....

I’m a stutterer, as my dad was. My daughter started stuttering at three. My two best bits of advice: 1. Look her in the eye and practice complete patience when she’s speaking. 2. Become her advocate. ...

Yes. Noticed this with my son who's very young (also came to this assumption after reading posts on here for a while as almost every post mentions how OP is v focused on people's perception of them) ...

100% agree. It's good that she isn't concerned/aware about her stuttering yet. Modeling slow, clear, calm speech is the way to go in my opinion....

This is quite common for kids at that age, however if it persists for more than a few months i would definetly seek professional help. I'm not even close to being a parent, but I'd try to work on it a...
