My son developed a stutter round the same age , it disappeared within a couple of years he is now 12 and doesn't even remember it .. We never pointed it out and I think it was the best approach. I had...

First of all, because your son is so young, there is a fair chance that it will naturally go away. But I'd prepare for it not too just to be safe, of course. It's never too early to take him to a spe...

Hi, our son started stuttering a lot about 6 weeks ago, with blocking and tension like you describe your son has started to do. I have stuttered my whole life, so I recognized it immediately, and we h...

Many have came out of stammering, so can your son... He is small... so don't get worried... or don't show to him that you worry, otherwise he will be sad and worried by knowing that you worry for him....

Biggest thing for me was to be in safe spaces. Reading out loud helped me also. since you’re son is young maybe reading to him more would help, keep talking to him, the more comfortable he is talki...

Hi, SLT and stammer ally here 🙂 The approach you mentioned is parent-child interaction therapy. In UK it is based on research from the Palin centre. The Lidcombe program has an evidence base but it c...

My advice would be to not worry too much. Since he is still young, it is common for children to stutter when at that age of first learning to speak. You are doing the right thing by giving him a comfo...

Our son started stuttering A month ago, first day on vacation, our son started a severe stutter overnight. He is 2 years and 8 months. I (35M) have stuttered for as long as i remember and recogniced i...

Thank you for the unsolicited advice. I do appreciate it, and you're totally right, I will tell him more. I hate that any child has ever been made to feel like they need to be fixed, childhood can b...

This^^ Every kid reacts difference, but allowing them to finish their sentence on their own helps them learn that people have the ability to be patient and wait for them to get it out. Speech therap...

Be patient. Don't finish their sentences. Encourage them to start a sentence over or take a breath and try again- don't be patronizing! If they do speech therapy young, realize they may not remember ...

It's okay to acknowledge and talk about stuttering! Avoiding it may increase stigma and taboo surrounding it. How young is your child? Speech therapy is a good step, but make sure you have a therapis...

I feel as child with a stutter I just want anyone to understand me. Even my parents would just say " breath and calm down". No one trully got how I felt and I think that was the worst part about havin...

He will have a better time of it because he has you. Plus science, too, but you will make a hell of a difference....

I relate to this big time. I also feel terrible for passing this onto my son. I carried around so much shame for most of my life due to stuttering. When my son started stuttering I felt AWFUL, it wa...

Im sorry you are going through this. This is one of the worst fears a lot of us have. There already has been a lot of great advice given. My dad stuttered growing up and grew out of it. We had som...

I know how you feel and that is why I will not have kids. But if you had a hard time yourself you will be able to relate with your son even more and guide him. Be there for him. You were able to find ...

Thanks, that’s reassuring. He’s my best little buddy. My “accuse” word was just an example of inquisition, I don’t put the bright light on him and smoke a cigar! Like you said, just trying to get the ...
