I don’t want to comment so much on a therapy plan because I think that’s been covered by an actual speech therapist! but I do want to talk more on the emotional side of this. You’re already doing a g...

Thank you for your reply and no it doesn't run in the family, not for any family I've ever met anyway. I'll work on not looking upset when I'm waiting on him to get out what he is trying to say, I'm g...

Do what you can behind the scenes to find someone who is trained in this. In the meantime, let your push to potentially fix this wash away as best you can. The most Important thing is that your son kn...

Yes to what everyone else said! Please see a speech therapist as soon as you can, one who who specializes in stuttering if you can. Although all speech therapist’s have had at least some training in s...

Some people like when others finish their sentence, but ultimately it will not be the best for his development if he just stops talking, gives up, or has someone else finish his sentence. Even if he w...

First thing is, good job for coming onto this subreddit, that really shows that you care :) \- Support him when he needs to vent and ask him if he knows what you and your wife could do to help him bc...

Honestly, it sounds like your parents might need to be educated about stuttering. I would suggest gathering some material to present to them. They need to understand that stuttering is a legitimate di...

Yes! We don't actually talk about it like that all. Our family, in general, take things one day at a time and don't idealize future state. Don't want him thinking something is, "wrong" if he doesn't g...
