I had a stutter until about 1st grade. I was able to get rid of mine by seeing a speech therapist very frequently. Another commenter here mentioned how important it is for family and therapists to fra...

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....

same thing my parents did to me. they thought my mind was just "fast" that my mouth cant keep up. they literally sent me to a psychiatrist and had to do a bunch of iq test and all that shit...

I think it depends on a case by case basis. For some the very act of being taken to a specialist can lead to feelings of "something must be wrong with me" and cause the same behavior. It's also diff...

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...

I think its best to start right away. I know some recommend to wait, but research suggest the earlier the better, before the mental struggles/avoidance starts, and this starts very early for some chil...

Yeah i know it was worse when i was young, and i feel like back then it was more cluttering words than actual stuttering. But the ironic thing about my life is that my mom was a speech-language pathol...

We both must of started very young then, but I'm sure we didn't when we first started to talk, pre school, I wonder what triggered it, .. I should of asked my mom bout it, at what age she noticed...

Maybe it's a possibility? I'm in no way an expert. None of my kids stutter. But I achieved my fluency before they were born. My situation is, of course, purely anecdotal. It wasn't until recently t...
