Hi, Our son will be 4 soon, and we are currently doing the Palin PCI program, it's a program for children up to 7 years. We are very happy with the program, but it's a lot of work. Our son is stutter...

Its natural to worry but I’d suggest you give it time. He likely will grow out of it. In the meantime help him work on vocal skills like you would for any child that age...

I agree. I don't think you should give up on talking to your family. At home around my family is literally the only place I really feel comfortable speaking. It sounds like you care about your family,...

Support them through speech therapy Build their confidence early I didn't do therapy and didn't get the proper support early, but I wish I did so I didn't spend later years building my confidence...

There are much worse things that can be passed down to children. Also a child stutterer who has a parent that stutter already starts with a very big advantage so parents can help guide the child throu...

I try to be patient. One of my sisters stuttered as a child so we gave her ample opportunity to speak without interrupting....

Some thoughts from the partner of a stutterer: Aside from your son saying he’s not bothered, does he actually seem not bothered? My husband at that age would have said his stutter didn’t bother him i...

Another mom of an almost 11 yr old stutterer. He too refuses to use the techniques. He is already medically complex and uses a wheelchair. I’m not overly worried about bullies because who’s going to m...

I have always stuttered since childhood so when my daughter had some disfluency we saw a speech therapist who gave me the below advice. Thankfully her disfluency comes and goes so we don't put any pre...

Speech therapy never worked for me personally but thats probably a good thing to try out. Another thing is don’t not talk about at home. My parents don’t talk about our stutters (mum, me, brother al...

I would suggest early intervention to be important. See if you can seek a referral with speech and language therapist who has, and this is crucial, experience of working with kids who stammer.. From...

People speak differently to young children all the time. I don't speak the same to my 1 year old nephew as I do to my boss....

I have four little girls. They are all toddlers and I’ve learned toddlers will do anything to be like their mom and dad. I believe it was just your son wanting to be like you. Stuttering is not someth...

This is definitely a teaching opportunity for your son to not only treat stutterers equally/not mock them but also treat everyone with a disability the same. Learning this at such a young age is a gre...

I agree with this. Speak more slowly and carefully than you would when speaking to an adult. A young child won't judge you for speaking slowly 🙂...

Probably having a parent that stutters could help you emotionally; both of my parents had stuttering problems in their childhood and naturally grew out of it in their teens. My father's stutter didn...

You need to get your parents to understand that no matter what they read online it doesn’t mean it has ti apply to you. Everyone is unique in how and why they stutter. Not all remedies work the same. ...

Not necessarily an answer to your question, but I wanted to thank you for reaching out for help around this. When I developed my stutter (when I was not that much older than your son), my own father w...
