So there’s multiple kinds of stuttering, the kind related to development (and can sometimes be grown out of) and another kind that’s related to the brain and genetics. I do think it’s important at an...

Right now, the best thing to do is to don’t make him worry about like like saying stuff like “Take your time” “Start over, and talk more slowly” At this age, it’s normal for children to have a deve...

Wow that sounds really difficult, and something I could never imagine going through. I really appreciate you sharing this with me and giving me some insight on how to help my son if this is something ...

Thank you. We make sure not to mention it or make a big deal, but I’ll tell others not to either. He did see a speech therapist once but my husband took him to the appointment so I don’t know what he ...

Whilst admittedly not addressing your questions, I urge you to ask everyone likely to come in contact with him to not correct him or react in any way when they see him do it - not even help with his w...

Hey there, I’m an SLP & a psychologist and I have been supporting children and adults who stutter for the last 14 years. Something I’ve learned is that stuttering is not just about speech. It's about...

I understand that as a parent, you want her to be able to speak fluently, but you shall not expect to go away, It's a neurological condition. She may be in progress of development, so stutter would ...

I’m an slp and I can’t really diagnose bc I have never seen your child but adhd is more linguistic non-fluencies while pure stuttering is going to be more block/repetitions/prolongations that might ha...

Yes the clinic is based in an Australian University (UTS) - and they actually do virtual sessions over the internet - I recommend you do that: [https://www.uts.edu.au/research/centres/australian-stutt...

Nope, I also don't stutter when I'm talking to my 2 yo old daughter or the dog. In my opinion stuttering is a small neurophysical "glitch" , somehow when we were young we could have made a problem a...

I'll just hug him and cry. Without saying anything. I'll let him enjoy his childhood happiness and not ruin him psychologically with the harsh reality that awaits him....

Amazing, thank you for the recommendation! I had no idea how many camps there were for stuttering. It’s so great to have options…my daughter is 7 now, but when she reaches 9-11 I want to sign her up f...

I totally understand how it feels to not have family that accepts your stutter and is insistent on “trying to fix it”. That being said, as an adult now I wished that my parents/siblings had played a m...

That’s great! Yeah he can grow out of it. If it’s starting to get better I’d recommend to not focus on it (for him). Otherwise he may start to believe it if you know what I mean...

if home schooling him would help prevent his stutter then definitely do it. he will thank you when he grows up...

Here is a short summary of the video: **Summary**: According to speech therapist Mary Joe Hoy, about 1 in 4 children will develop a pattern of stuttering while their language skills are growing. Mos...

Hi, very heartwarming to see a mother that cares this much. I'm 30 now and I've stuttered since I was 4 years old. It's improved as I got older, I had a LOT of trouble with it when I was younger, esp...

It’s largely too late for me… I’m a lifer now… I’ve made a good life, but it was very, very hard at times. I would encourage you to really think about the ways you could encourage controlled “failure...

That is awful. I'm so sorry that you didn't get the support you needed and deserved from your parents. I am at such a loss as to how to support my own kids -- I just want them to feel completely accep...

First of all stutter really varies and the same tricks dont work for everyone, so I dont have any specific tricks in mind. You already told him some basic tricks but don't stress about it too much or ...
