I think the important thing is to not teach your child to avoid fears. Show courage often in your life by making phone calls, ordering at restaurants. Even join a toastmasters group. If she sees how m...

I currently work in government and it’s always nerve wrenching before an interview or the first day of work. I’ve stuttered at work many times even when I’m making a regulatory decision. Just practice...

I think the fact that I speak very quickly is due to ADD and that does not do much to help my stutter....

Well it's protocol for me to knock and announce my position 2 times. The third time I have to knock and announce I'm using my keys to unlock the door. There's not much room for me to change the script...

Trust yourself. Don’t anticipate what you’re going to say. You have a general script that you’re supposed to say, don’t even think about the script at first, just open the door with no expectations an...

I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You can h...

Practice your speech! That’s the best way. Then speak in front of someone like your friend / family. Take deep breaths and speak slowly as no one can interrupt you. One good thing about speech is ...

I used to stutter much more severely than I do now. A couple years of therapy, Toastmasters, and a general increase in self confidence later, I am doing much better. A comment on your point regardin...

You can speak fluently if you can do that. If you can say one word anytime,anywhere, you can say any word anytime anywhere. Read a book at least an hour a day out loud every day. The key is to train y...

Fantastic idea. I started out like you and beat my stuttering in 6 months. Reading out loud is a must! When you are having a conversation with someone, speak 3 or 5 words then come to a complete stop!...

I would also try not just talking to yourself. But instead reading something while recording yourself or practicing in a mirror. This will somewhat replicate the fear of seeing yourself stutter. Espec...

Yes. Yes. Yes. I used to have a 2.5 hour drive a few times a month when I was in college and would load up on caffeine and have pretend interviews or hot topic debates with myself in the car the whole...

Two books worth reading, both by Dale Carnegie: 1. How to Win Friends and Influence People 2. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living They are both FULL of good practices and thought exercises on how t...

People like people who like them. A salesperson told me a technique that he always uses, and you don't have to say anything to use it. He said that every time he meets someone, he immediately thinks...

So I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You ca...

You shouldn’t be trying so much not to stutter. And actually, I had a physics teacher in high school that stuttered, and he was awesome, everybody loved him! He was super interesting. And he was also...

All of it, especially trying to keep them brief with the wording, do the PowerPoint a day or two before and learning it....

I've found that it helps if I say other words before saying my name. So I go...Hi, hope you're fine, you can call me " xxx" or "Nice to meet you. My name is....". I basically say stuff first before sa...

Worrying about it yes, planning what to say before saying it rather than naturally yes. Thinking in a general sense (how you feel, how speaking went, strategies) I'd say is beneficial...

First of all, it's awesome to hear that you've made it successfully through those other challenges. Also, I definitely relate to the feeling of incompetence when you can't say what's on your mind, or ...
