I started to stutter at the age of 9. I did not notice it or felt like it was an issue until my mother pointed out while I was reading her my lesson.. I remember that day I went to bed crying. Sure my stutter have increased as I grew up. I’m 23 years old now. If your kid doesn’t see it as a problem, maybe she should notice it? My younger sister started stuttering just now and when the quarantine started, so It might be because she was doing her school online.. kids have went through a lot since COVID started! We don’t tell her you stutter.. we just ask her to catch her breath, slow down, and take her time. She knew she had an issue when it comes to talking but she doesn’t know the term “stutter”. Also put in mind that I stutter too.. she sees me having long blocks all the time.. she thinks that’s just another way of talking. Kids don’t see things the way we do! But I’m worried about her growing up with her stutter without treatment, so I asked my mom to take her to a SLP if it continued.. not that there is a 100% treatment for stutter, but it’s better to start at a young age. It won’t be bad later on as they continue with their lives! I started having speech therapy at the age of 19. I use some skills and techniques while giving a presentation or ordering from a restaurant but I don’t really like hiding my stutter! Even my SLP used to tell me the purpose of speech therapy is acceptance and make things smoother with your stutter. It’s amazing that you’re helping her from now.. Please support her, listen to her, and remind her that NO ONE GIVES A SHIT if she stutters.. she is amazing, smart, beautiful, and perfect just the way she is! My parents weren’t supportive at all and they thought I was doing it for attention seeking. I used to be beaten up for stuttering and was asked to JUST STOP.. but I couldn’t, that was just MYSELF. I still look back and wonder she could’ve happened today if my parents were here for me.
