I just had a daughter and I’m hoping she doesn’t inherit it. I’ll get her into early intervention if she does. I know chances are low to pass it on...

I do, they aren't speaking yet but I would be lying if it doesn't keep me up at night sometimes. With that said, nobody else in my family stutters so I try to look at it that way in hopes it won't bef...

I have two kids. Neither stutters (yet) but it's always on my mind when they stumble on their words....

No don’t wait it out please. I did this with my first born and his speech did not improve. I am here because my child who is now a teenager stutters. Don’t wait it out. Contact your school special ed ...

Thank you for your response. At 6, nobody seems to really fixate on her stutter. I think this is because her stutter comes *after the word* and not beginning with it. I ensure she knows I will always ...

Yes. It’s very unusual—I’ve had a lot of educators say the same. And it most occurs when she’s telling a story or answering a question. Her pediatrician has said over the past 2 years to basically wai...

Help with my child’s stutter

Help with my child’s stutter My 6 year old daughter has a stutter. It goes something like this: she is telling a story. “The uh uh uh uh uh uh cat at at at at at went to the house ouse and nd ate t f...

She has her good and worse days like I have myself, but has improved overall now that she is in preschool. I believe her fluency and articulation has improved from being around other kids and how to p...

Hello, I’m just wondering how your daughter is going now? This sounds very similar to what we have experienced with our 3.5 year old over the past 8 weeks. It’s been so tough. I hope there’s some imp...

It actually started with his teacher at school who recommended he be tested by the school SLP. The school SLP is the one who recommended we get a private SLP since my son's stutter was so severe. My s...

I went to “speech therapy camp”. It was…something. My parents also were told I was always going to be a bit slow mentally. 🙄...

I know, many people cured their stuttering when they grow up, because of that parents ignore the fact that childhood is best time to work on it. People don’t know what is stuttering, they suggest thei...

Not at all. I was very well loved..even spoiled you can say. Vacations, cool toys, nice clothes, birthdays. No bad childhood memories. However anytime I ask my mom if she remembers how/when my stu...

How were you best supported/How could you have been better supported?

How were you best supported/How could you have been better supported? Hi everyone, I typed out a long post and then realized you didn’t need every detail of my son’s journey this far so I decided to g...

Thanks. Where I get confused is I’ve seen other posts here where people say they wish their parents had gotten help for them and now they really struggle as adults....

Then he seems okay with his stutter. To be honest, a lot of people remember stuttering becoming a problem only when someone in their environment tried to fix it. It isn't wrong to stutter, it's just h...

School aged child with stutter

School aged child with stutter Looking for advice for what to do about my 8YO who stutters. We previously did a handful of sessions with an SLP which I believe used the Palin Parent approach. I think ...

Yeah I understand. You can try speech therapy. What I meant is that it’s like ‘normal’ for kids 2-5 to be stuttering because their brains are still developing their speaking, but definitely get speech...

4 years old seems awfully young to start filling your sons head with a bunch of psychobabble. Just let him be a kid and don't make a big deal about him stuttering. The worst thing you can do is put th...

I think the most important thing is to not make a big deal about it, unless it’s obvious that the kid already thinks of it as a big deal. Pulling a kid out of class and giving them therapy counts as...
