I hesitated to offer any tips... Mainly because of your son's age. Statistically, most kids grow out of their stutter. As such, the common approach is "wait and see." I dislike "wait and see" because I never grew out of my stutter. I wish I had received help early on. I was a severe stutterer from when I was very little until I found fluency through speech therapy in my mid 20s. For adults and older youth, I always advocate for speech therapy. I believe in speech therapy. For early on set stuttering, such as your son, I also advocate for speech therapy. But I'm not nearly as quick to push therapy with the little ones. A little bit of "wait and see" isn't terrible. As long as it isn't getting progressively worse, or stressing the child. Let's talk about stressing the child. I'm also the parent of three. None of them have speech deficits, but my 13 yo son has a physical disability. As such, I have a lot of experience around kids that experience being different from their peers. Kids are smart. At 3, I'd wager he's a sponge. If he sees you are stressed about his speech, he is going to stress about it. Find a way for you to be OK with what he's dealing with. It isn't going to break him. He'll be stronger for the frustrations he experiences, so long as he doesn't feel his speech is stressing you or the rest of the family. Like I said, I think you're doing everything right. If it were my kid, I'd seek out speech therapy. How long is the wait for the speech therapist? A month or so isn't uncommon. If it's more than that, keep looking. Talk to your school district or county, and see what resources and referrals they have available. They can be a wealth of information and assistance. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to connect with the right resource, but when you do, it'll be worth the effort. In school speech therapy never helped me. Maybe it helps some, but I've not heard anyone in this sub praise public schools speech therapy. As a parent, I've had the benefit of seeing how public school based physical therapy and occupational therapy compare to professional outpatient services. There's no comparison. Outpatient PT and OT are superior to public school offerings. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything the public schools offer. But sometimes they aren't up to the larger tasks. I caution people about with sub-optimal therapies... People are quick to come to the wrong conclusion that "therapy doesn't work." And they quit trying. A couple of immediate things, just off the top of my head... Is he reading at all yet? Many of us don't stutter when we read aloud. If he can read aloud without stuttering, even it it is when he is alone, record some of those. Keep the recordings in your back pocket for now. It might be useful at some future date to show him he can be fluent. Sing songs. Most of us don't stutter when we sing. Kids don't realize that speaking and singing are very different things. It will at least allow him to have some fun while being fluent. Maybe do some home karaoke. I hope this is a sprint for you. Either he corrects on his own, or you find effective speech therapy. But even if it's a marathon, he's going to be fine. He's got you in his corner. What more could a child want for?
