You good. Your parents are downplaying your situation because they've never been exposed to this before. Try to be patient with your parents but most of all, BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF! much love yo!...

Yes. I know you’ve been told this but you need to slow down and take your time. An analogy to use is Barrack Obama doing public speeches. Whether you align with him politically or not, he has a very...

No, stuttering isn't something we should just accept as something to not be changed. It shouldn't be something to be shamed, but it is debilitating. If someone has advice for me to help me speak bet...

Hey man, I can definitely relate! How much are you interacting with people now, due to quarantine? In my experience and others I have spoken to, more exposure to uncomfortable experiences relating to ...

That’s nice of you. You May find some useful information in older threads. In my experience just being normal and a little extra patient around a person who sitters should be enough....

I work in the medical field and am also a stutterer. I have similar fears at times, but I remind myself that people pass on much more life-threatening or debilitating diseases to their children. Thing...

I feel you, some people are just mean. Shoot your shot it’s never over until you no as an answer!!!...

I personally think it's kimda selfish to have children with a condition like that, but don't worry people are gonna judge you in any case so you shouldn't worry about me so much, bit still i think it ...

My 2 cents: I adopted my son the day he was born so this is moot for me but I say just live your life and whatever happens, you and your spouse will tackle it head on with conviction, compassion an...

Hey, I was a bit worried about it too before starting a family with my wife (she doesn't stutter) but I just accept the risk, so to speak. Our son will be 2 yrs old this summer and we can't really tel...

I know that it might sound melodramatic and trivial but life, your life, your future children lives, is so much more than speech quality. Yeah, it is obvious but we tend to forget that stuttering is j...

Your kid can have a myriad of conditions, that's just life. There will always be people that stutter. If your kid stutters, he or she will be lucky to have a dad that they can empathize with and who c...

I was worried about it too before I had my son almost 12 years ago, but unfortunately I don't think there's anything anyone can say to put your mind at ease. Hell, my kid talks fine & I still find...

I really take similarity with your point about falling into old patterns. I think as people who stammer - we want to be fluent instantly 0-100 style. I would advise taking things (as in goals, eg. wor...

I'm with you on the feedback loops. Especially when it comes to avoidance. There are certain sounds that are a real problem for me, and the more I avoid them the more fearful they become. Thus more te...

Everything you've said is true, and then some. Having a barrier, even if it's just a piece of fabric can reduce anxiety and tension when it comes to stuttering and anxiety as a whole. A blogger who I...

Thanks for the info but because Parkinson’s is an incurable disease and if what your saying is that I may develop it in the future, probably without any control of it I will for now at least just roll...

Bottom line, if you want to be a teacher, be a teacher. Don’t let stuttering hold you back or else it’ll haunt you for the rest of your life. I’m an SLP in the schools and I feel like it’s been the b...

I have had a stutter for as long as I can remember. I have never had any therapy for this but learnt myself to cope with it. It has gotten better over the years, but its still a daily challenge. I hav...

Hey, I think we're in the same situation. I'm currently on my way to get a languages degree and I'm terrified with the idea of teaching. I think that if you consider your excitement for teaching bigge...
