I’ve had it all my life and was born with it. Speech therapy helps as well as tapping her fingers to pronúnciate her words out. LET HER SPEAK AS SLOWLY AS SHE WANTS TOO. Get her into therapy soon...

Not saying to ignore/deny its existence, just don't make the kid feel like she has a problem or it will likely get worse (mentally, if not physically). My parents let me decide what to do. They took m...

How long did you take it for? I found it took a few weeks for the piracetam to build up in my body before I saw the effects (for both fluency and memory/clarity). ...
