hey all

hope your all doing ok, just a quickie really,

over the past week or 2 euan has started to develop a stutter, its come on slowly but is getting worse. he started off stuttering y-y-y-y-you then its moved to th-th-th-they or w-w-w-what. like i said, its getting worse. school have noticed it and while they said its not causing him major problems asin, its not stopping him doing things, its just frustrating him, so much so sometimes he gives up trying to say something because it just wont come out Sad

I was a stammerer in my early school years and boy was that a long time ago! It can still happen now occasionally when tired, is he sleeping OK? I remember having to have very strict bedtimes and reading rather than watching TV ...... the other thing was singing, the doctor prescribed joining the choir, something to do with script and breathing.... I bet there are far more effective modern ways to help stammerers nowadays but it worked Ok for me. Smile

Unfortunately there is no photographic evidence that I was ever a child ....... earliest ones I have are from about 25 years ago Smile

hi lucy,my eldest has had a stammer since he could speak and he is now 7.he has had speech therapy until the school ran out of funding and did a course by michael palin and it has improved slightly.he also gets frustrated trying to get the words out but not as much as people trying to finish the sentence for him! we find it is worse if he is excited or angry as he tries to speak faster but we just wait for him to finish.
hope you get a good speech therapist who can help.x
