Stuttering and Your Child: Help for Parents

[Leon612]

I have a stutter and getting blocked while speaking is my greatest challenge. Of course during my last week of college I had to do an oral presentation which I did get blocked up, but at least it's over forever! One challenge down and probably millions more to go! lol

How do you discover if there is a stutter or th child is just excited and needs to slow down?

[neystheshit]

@toddk911 It is normal for children to stammer once in a while, if the stammering is constant, it is affecting understandability, and there are other secondary behaviors such as eye blinking, head jerking, fist clenching, etc and this has been going on for more than several months then the child is presenting some red flags.

@neystheshit Ok, thank you for the info.

ughter started stammering over a year ago and got worse as time went on and it broke my heart to listen to her,she has now started to get help but was told today that it may never go away and i feel very sad as i taught after maybe with 6 weeks of help she would be fine or at least nearly better, sadly thats not the case and i keep going over in my head , is it my fault. She is starting school in september and im so worried about how she will cope will she get builled. :(:(

@lucinda134 Lucinda, there are many reasons why a child might stutter. Sometimes it is related to a dramatic change in the child's life, such as starting school, moving to a different city, or having a baby brother/sister. Don't blame yourself. I hope you have talked to an SLP already and that your daughter is doing better. Best.

Wonderful and practical report that gives a clear idea to parents about stuttering, and how to deal with a stuttering child.

Thank you so much for such an effort!
