Has your child started to stutter?

Here are some things to help if so.

1. Let them stutter until they get their message out.
2. Keep eye contact with them
3. Don’t finish their sentence
4. Don’t ask them to stop and start again or to take a deep breath.
5. If the child refers to the stutter or shows any other awareness, you can praise them for getting their words out at the end and let them know that sometimes we all have bumpy words.
6. Get in contact with a speech therapist if your child continues to stutter after a number of weeks.
