As a person who’s been stuttering since a child the best thing you can teach a child is how to express themselves, get them to regularly tell you how they feel and if they say bad get them to tell you...

I don't think it's useful to tell him to slow down, but kids do what we do, so when we slow down he might as well, after some time (Weeks, months..). Haha yes, if she asks you to take out the trash, t...

Thank you for the clip, I'll give it a watch. I love the technique of taking a little pause in the sentence. You're right it'll really show him that he doesn't need to talk fast if daddy and mommy do...

Thank you for your reply. As i mentioned above we found a really sweet SLP and she said that based on the info we gave her, sessions with my son wouldn't be very useful and the priority would be to se...

Thank your for you're reassuring post. We were planning on waiting but it has gotten severe in a matter of days so my wife and I are going to see a speech therapist, mostly for us so they can teach us...

First thank you so much for such a great reply. I don't like the "wait and see" either, even if I totally understand the need to wait and see if it's actually a problem rather than normal behavior. It...

Speech therapy and moral support is I think all you do at that point. My dad stutters and my mom said I picked mine up at your kid's age. I was in therapy until ~7th grade and have been fairly fluent ...

I stutter, my son did the same thing at your age. I did the same things you are doing and he met with a speech therapist a couple of times and one day we realized it just wasn’t there. Have faith!...

This is the best time to make him interact with many people and kids. Never allow him to get isolated. Good that you caught this problem earlier and his career can now be shaped very well. Pls ask him...

I agree with all of the other comments thus far. Stuttering at that age is very common and should not be a major concern. I believe love and support through the stuttering will go a long way. If the c...

I second most of these comments about what you're doing. The one thing I'll say is most SLPs are not trained in handling stuttering and even the ones that claim to be get it wrong half the time. If th...

SLP working towards my fluency specialization here! Everything you’ve mentioned that you’re doing sounds great! I would also add to spend about 15 minutes a day with just your son where you have speci...

I hesitated to offer any tips... Mainly because of your son's age. Statistically, most kids grow out of their stutter. As such, the common approach is "wait and see." I dislike "wait and see" becaus...

I have a kid with a stutter and had the same concern about "making it a thing" by taking her to a speech therapist. The therapist we had for evaluation was excellent and treated kid with respect and e...

Yes that's something that we've read... Not bringing up the stutter. We've stopped telling things like "calm down" or "go slower" or anything like that. My question is how do we avoid it if we see a s...

speech therapist and i would say don't discourage him from speaking by bringing up his stutter much like it's weird a few in my family have a stutter and received speech therapy - i didn't and no sur...

Hi, My son started stuttering some months back, and at first I wanted to do the Lidcombe programme. But I found two studies that made me doubt it. The first study removed the negative verbal conting...

My fianciée is 5 months pregnant and I stutter too. I worry about this sometimes, but I'm the only one in my family who has it. No idea about you, so it's not certain your kid wil inherit. Nevertheles...

My daughter (5) has a stutter like mine and noticed it at age 3. We got her into speech therapy early and it really has helped. It was heart breaking when she first realized she talked like daddy, bu...

My 3 year old daughter just started stuttering. I talk about it on this podcast. My Stuttering Life - Running A Business & Raising Children With A Stutter https://www.mystutteringlife.com/runn...
