My grandfather had 5 children and my father inherited it and then i have a brother but only i inherited it. I also fear that my children would inherit it but no one knows what happens. Just focus on t...

I inherited my stutter from my dad. There’s always a chance that your child could get it, there’s a chance they could not. The way I would think about it is, if they do then you have a unique opportun...

I have stuttered ever since I can remember, 3 older brothers which never had an issue. I have two kiddos 3 and 4. Even if they do develop a stutter the experiences I have been through good and bad whi...

It can be genetic, but focus on the here and now. You’ve been successful in life to make yourself a family. If your kid does by chance develop a stutter; there’s no better person to help them through ...

My experience is that the only way for therapy to have affect is continuous daily work. I spent years going to a therapist in weekly sessions, it had no effect. I'm sure that SLP was clueless on how...

On day one with assessment, discuss with parents the possibility that he/she may stutter for life; and will be just fine if he/she does…...

Dont give the parents high hopes. Manage their expectations. I can imagine how hard it must have been for my parents but they never stuck with one therapist because they thought it just wasn't working...

Can you talk to your son's teacher? Maybe they can spend some time educating the class about stuttering, or reading them a story about stuttering. It's OK to stutter- please tell your son this over ...

First, a huge thank you to all who responded and reached out. Me and my son thank you. Second. Me and my wife try to be as supportive as we possibly can. It gets frustrating sometimes and we may snap ...

My advise here will be to consult your doctor before administering any drug, Esp to a 8 year old child. Drugs can have far more devastating effect on development of brain of a kid. Also, most kids ju...

First and foremost, I tell all parents to tell your child that it's OK to stutter. It would have meant the world to me. But here's the tricky part. Speech therapy tends to give the message that it's...

Venting about my son's stutter.

Venting about my son's stutter. Today was a rough day and while doing homework (he is 8) he had a breakdown and started to cry. Kids at school are starting to notice and think he is stupid. I've poste...

Thanks, after reading through all the replies I wasn't sure whether to say anything to him but after reading yours I will definitely not mention it until he does. He has a big sister and we have told...

Thanks, we have done our best to not mention anything in front of him. He is comfortable speaking with us, stutter or not and doesn't give up. We will do everything we can to keep it that way. His...
