Hello, 1) From my experience stuttering is closely related with psychology also, so I wished my parents introduced me to child psychologist along with speech therapy as soon as they spotted the stut...

Lee is wonderful and totally gets it. You're lucky to have had her as a professor. Counseling is scary and yes you might make mistakes, but you will learn and get better. The main points I'd say are t...

I honestly can only imagine how it feels. I definitely will stress that their thoughts and words are important! I don’t want them to feel broken. But I do want to be there if they need someone to talk...

Parent and teacher education has already started! I want my students to feel as though they have a team on their side, and don’t ever shy away from talking. I actually just passed out info on this tod...

There is no need to feel guilty, we didn't choose to stutter. Genetics do play a factor in whether you stutter or not but you shouldn't feel guilty for something you have no control over. As you men...

That’s very damaging. The last thing you want is to cause your son to be afraid of not speaking “perfectly”. That therapist doesn’t know what he/she is doing. Best to speak to a therapist who speciali...

Just make sure you don’t send the message across to your son that stuttering is wrong. That will only make him more anxious about speaking properly....

Perhaps. Was it difficult for you? Maybe he won't have any problems. It's hard to say in advance, because we neither know how he'll develop, nor how he'll handle whatever stutter might be there....

Well, in that case... is stutter a problem for him? If it's not, maybe there's no need to do anything. If it is - maybe he realizes it himself sooner and later, and is open to therapy once again (ma...

I suppose being a quiet person helps in the first place ! Back to the subject, my son won't go to therapy, he just won't. He does however listen to me somewhat so my question is, what can i say to hel...

I stutter and my son got over his stutter relatively quickly. So don't worry about it....

My husband stutters. He has ten thousand qualities I adore, and from when we first started dating until now, it’s not something I ever really noticed or even cared about in the least. Why would I, whe...

Well, I stutter and my daughter stutters also. I intentionally opted not to put my daughter into speech therapy. Both my daughter and I are mild stutterers, and my thought was to not bring more attent...

You're already helping by intervening early. Most early stutters go away on their own. My only advice would be to try not to finish her sentences for her, or talk over her....

I am a speech-language pathologist as well as a person who stutters: At home, let your child speak freely. Embrace all those beautiful stutters, listen to her, don't interrupt, tell her to use her ...

How can I help ?

How can I help ? Hi there, I need some advice. My boyfriend has a tendency to stutter and stammer, and I'd like to know how to help and support him. We've known each other for a while, but only star...

There will always be those secondary behaviours. Try giving her something else she can play with. Like a new bracelet or something. In my experience it's the equivalent of a fidget spinner, and as lon...

I also have done that. For example, I blink hard when I stutter. Idk if that makes sense :). I wouldn't worry about it. That kind of subsides after some time. I have also had good times and bad times ...

Thank you! Yes, we do those things already. Because of COVID, he only sees two other adults regularly, and I make sure to remind them to give him time when needed. No siblings just yet. :)...

A 2 year old with a stutter is very common and most of them grow out of it before the age of 5. But you should ask him to speak a little slower and articulate his words. This will give him a way of sp...
