From Stuttering to Fluency: Manage Your Emotions and Live More Fully
What is Stuttering?
Stuttering is an interruption in the flow of speaking due to disfluencies. It is the most common fluency disorder and can affect the rate and rhythm of speech. Stuttering also typically involves
- inappropriate reactions of others—the negative reactions toward stuttering from typically fluent speakers who do not stutter—or
- negative internal reactions to speaking—the feelings that a person who stutters has about their stuttering.
When to Seek Help
1. If your child has stuttered for longer than 6 months and is older than age 5
2. If your child struggles or shows tension when speaking
3. Stuttering can run in families. If you have a family history for stuttering, your child may be at higher risk.
4. Your child has other speech or language difficulties in addition to stuttering.
5. Your child avoids speaking situations, social withdrawl due to stuttering
