what to say when kids comment on your stutter? hey y’all, i’m currently student teaching and when though i’ve been working with kids for almost four years now, i’ve never quite figured out the best response to when kids comment on my stutter. of course i don’t take it personally when it happens since i know they mean no actual harm, but i feel like i’m always caught off guard and don’t know how to answer. usually i’ll just say “that’s just how i speak” if they ask or comment, and if they laugh or mimic i usually just say “no thank you”, but i feel like those don’t always help. i have spoken to my current students about my stutter so they’re aware of it, but i wanna try and find something i can say to any kid i end up interacting with if needed. sorry if i explained this weird 😭
