Advice for parents of young children who stutter?

[Javier]

Hi Derek,
I’m glad that you’re already feeling like that. You certainly can do it, we have no doubt about that. Please do keep us posted with your progress, and don’t hesitate to use this Forum to ask questions.
You can learn a lot too if you attend to the SAM meetings on Saturdays at 10am NY time (go to “Community” –> “Speech Club”; if you scroll down you’ll find the Zoom invitation). You will be able to meet us, other PWSS and PWS, interact with them, ask questions, learn how they stopped stuttering…. It’s very motivating, entertaining, and you also learn a lot.
Have a great day!!

And also don’t give confusing advice. 🙂

I remember when my parents told me “think before you speak”, then 30 minutes later, “don’t focus on your speech, just talk”.

Gabor, the most ANNOYING thing on earth – PRACTICE YOUR BREATHING!!!

UHHHHHH… HOW DO I BREATHE WHEN I AM SLEEPING???? Honestly, the silliest advice I have ever heard in my life. DO NOT TELL YOUR CHILDREN TO BREATHE! LOL.

It is so detrimental to your child, it makes them think that they are “stupid”, as they do not know how to do something as simple as “breathe”!
