As someone who was in your child’s place, please stop doing this. My parents were the same way. Very kind and supportive but they always kept saying things to use my therapy stuff or slow down or brea...

That's a shame. You might want to share literature from the National stuttering Foundation with him. Stuttering is NOT cured. It's managed. It's a disability and should be recognized and understood as...

38 yo father here. I've been a stutter since i can remember, i have 4 kids (9, 8, 6 and 5) Beyond stutter, i started balding at 22. I learned that that's just life. I have way more problems right no...

As a stutter myself, I would say don’t delay things due to the stutter, I know it’s hard opening up to new people and am sure it will be hard but you will have to go to college eventually so don’t del...

To call it a curse is where the problem starts. My wife and I recently got married and she has been stuttering since she was 5. There are moments where stutter is barely noticeable (like nowadays) an...

If she feels good and her stuttering is not bothering her, don't push techniques on her. It's much better to stutter freely without pressure than always focusing on techniques against your will. Paren...

Do you believe we should be helping clients become more fluent, more accepting of their stutter, or both? How do you balance these? Dr McCool, GP from Ireland...

If it doesn’t give her social issues or affect her confidence, let her stutter freely :) I know it’s a scary thing to think about. You love your kid and want her to be as successful as possible. Succe...

The issue is: should I be encouraging her to use her strategies if she doesn’t care enough about her stutter to apply them? I don’t want to make her think having a stutter is something that she should...

I spent a year in Ireland and I was really fluent. I grew up speaking English as my second language. But since my stutter got so bad again a few years ago, speaking English is horrible 🙃...

I feel you :/ I wish you some progress nonetheless! I keep telling myself, it's difficult but I'm sure it's not impossible. I managed to become fluent in German, it'll eventually get better, right .....

Not really. I got my stutter from my dad and I love him. He won’t hate him for it because it wasn’t something he could control...

And as I’m sure you know, there are many successful people who have a stutter as well. I am a rapper myself and I don’t feel like I’m not more successful because I stutter lmao. It’s not a cope to acc...

Stuttering is a gift to me, it makes it very easy to see who’s shallow and cynical within seconds of meeting them. You sound like you let this condition control the way you think about yourself and I ...

Sorry that you've had a difficult time with your stutter. Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental difference in the way that people's brains process and coordinate speech, so there can be a genetic elemen...

I think it’s possible she has a stutter, but I think the best thing you can do as a parent is IGNORE it and just pretend it isn’t happening. Respond to the content of her speech, and not how it is sai...

Ok. Your stutter doesn’t seem that bad compared to mine. I’m at least a 7 on a regular basis. I’ve been in relationships in the past and have been on at least 4 dates this past month. Trust me if I ca...

Confidence and use your stuttering to make the conversation interesting...

Just be yourself. It’s fascinating that my stutter was “silent” when I began conversing with my wife. I rarely stuttered while talking to her, and even when I did have a slight stutter, she always fou...

Enjoy the journey at uni and congratulations on engaging in such a positive way with what could have been an overwhelming environment. Be relentlessly authentic and five words I found during my own un...
