I’m 22 years old now, and I have a moderate stutter as well. As you know, growing up with any kind of stutter sucks. There’s no sugarcoating that. However, one good thing is that your kid has a parent...

Stuttering is annoying at least for me. It causes distress and anxiety for me. Some get depressed, some don't care at all. Keep us updated....

Don’t get me wrong. I never said it was an easy path. Sorry if I made it seem like an oversimplification. I’ve had dark times as well. It really is all about how you view stuttering and I understand t...

Yeah. I stuttered at 4-6 or so, then fluent for years. It made a return at 20, coincidentally at a time my self esteem was at a new low. 13 years later I still stutter to varying degrees....
