Trying things like meditation in the morning is never bad, but it's difficult to just make yourself relax, and nearly impossible in the moment of panic. So you might just have to learn how to work thr...

I'll keep that in mind. I can hardly fathom letting myself stutter, but at this point, it would probably be less distracting and obvious. This is my second year with them, so we know each other far t...

Sometimes I do regret it and wish I worked alone, with no one to witness the spectacle, but I do enjoy teaching! Do what you love!...

I've realized the click has really worked it's way into a lot of my speech, it's horrid. Since I've realized it, and have been trying not to do it, my fluency has gotten way worse. This is my second ...

Since my stutter gets worse I also close my eyes now and then when I have a bigger block. Not for long. I know it's secundary behavior. But it is what it is. I don't really care much about it. If it ...

WOW. You have a LOT of courage! I admire you! I don't have tips, but maybe talk about it with your kids what someone mention here? ...

That is really awesome! You chose to do it because its what you're passionate about. You accepted the fact that you stutter and you do what you love. Is it hard sometimes? Probably, but you'll look ba...

Dude, you're seriously brave as hell. This is really admirable. As a fellow severe stutterer, you're doing something I wouldn't even dream of doing, but now i'm feeling inspired!...

No....

I'm going to warn you about the click thing. You're developing a secondary behavior (or maybe it's already developed). I know when you're feeling the panic it's hard not to do what you instinctively d...

Teaching with a stutter

Teaching with a stutter I am some sort of masochist. I followed my dreams of becoming a teacher, even though I have a pretty bad stutter. The kids prefer when I lecture, which is usually not a big de...

Just an FYI you're going to have a lot of ups and downs. Probably more downs than ups. A lot of this will be due to moving too quick and not fully understanding some of the more nuanced parts (because...

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. I'd say to you the same as I said to the other commenter subtlefarts :) I think it comes down to the belief in mind over matter. Some people believe that th...

Thank you so much for your time and response! I'm going to try this and hopeful I can stop the habit :)...

I'm from Canada so I don't really know how famous this Joe Biden character is but meeting a vice president does sound impressive. From what I understand, fluency skills are dependent on your feelings...

By the time anyone finds a cure (if they ever do) I'd be long dead....

Sounds like it could be a secondary behavior. Unconsciously learned when you were younger and stuck. Something like when you were on a tough sound you try anything to get the word out and when you twi...

Yes. The harder the block or stutter, the more often it would happen....

Does it happen more or more intensely the hard the block/Stutter? ...

Speech therapy just didn't feel worth it anymore. I wasn't making a ton of progress, and the xbox 360 had just come out and I had middle school priorities. It just didn't seem worth my time anymore. I...
