Don't treat it like a problem. If it's not a problem to her, don't force her through therapy and bring it up to her. Let her develop on her own. If she wants to try therapy, then do it....

I don't have any suggestions for how your daughter can improve her speech, as nothing has worked on me so far. But as a parent, you can instill confidence in her and her speech and her ability to take...

SLP here. Thanks for reaching out to learn more about how to help your daughter. I don't stutter and I know you were asking the people here who do stutter, but I still feel like I have (hopefully) h...

She's in therapy in school and private therapy. Sometimes I feel she hasn't found the right match/therapist with private therapy. As her parents, we want to give her every resource/opportunity to help...

Any tips to help my 8 yr old daughter?

Any tips to help my 8 yr old daughter? I have an 8 yr old daughter who stutters. She has been in therapy off and on since 4 yr old. This past year it has gotten worse. She is currently in therapy w...

My daughter has a stutter. She also has GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). It really sounds like anxiety is the main culprit here. Have you looked into any help dealing with that? We are lucky eno...

Do I enable my SO, or am I helping?

Do I enable my SO, or am I helping? My SO has had a stutter his whole life. We've been together a few years and I love him to death. When we first started dating he did his exercises, practiced a rout...

I actually have a daughter who stutters, she's only 4 so not quite of the age to start asking questions. I'm of course not going to approach her questions the same way but I'd feel like I'd be lying t...

It would be hard to argue with your dad's logic, but there may have been more beneficial ways to approach your questions. At least you can take that experience with you and help your children (or any...

Good for you! Try and develop a good relationship with your students from the get-go and they won't think anything of it...

I went to speech therapy for years as a kid. It didn't significantly help (the 80's were not a great time for speech therapy) but the biggest take away I got from it was paternal involvement. My paren...

Did people tell you to slow down and remember to breath? Did it do anything (other than irritate you)? She doesn't need to be told that stuff either, it's pointless. I found these episodes about par...

My 7 year old begins speech therapy next week.

My 7 year old begins speech therapy next week. I stuttered pretty badly growing up, I never got help for it, but it sort of fizzled out when I was in my early 20s. I still do it a bit, but not nearly...

Thanks so much. Her teacher last year was great and my daughter felt very comfortable with her stutter because of the patient response of her teacher. It didn't hold her back in the classroom. Outs...

The best advice i could give, apart from keeping her in speech therapy would be to speak a little bit slower with her. When i speak to someone who seems stressed out or is talking fast i always subcon...

I am the same. If I am asked to repeat an order or directions or anything....I am screwed. It is like I over-think it the second time. ...

I sometimes explain it smoothly the first time but then they ask to repeat. Oh boy, it all goes down the hill from there. ...

I would strongly recommend that you carry on with the speech therapy. A child's mind is like a sponge and it soaks everything it comes in contact with. Given time, fruits of therapy will show. I say t...

Stuttering is very common for young children. The vast majority grow out of it by 7 or 8. It sounds like you stutter as well, so there might be a genetic link. My suggestion would be to continue with ...

It varies tremendously. As I wrote in a thread it can be non existent to mildly frustrating. I think the majority of mine is self affliction and anxiety as when I am drunk friends of mine have comment...
