Stuttering Lesson

Have your child start by talking about how their stuttering has been over the past week. Ask them about what feelings they have about their talking. You can have them draw a picture about the way they feel. This can sometimes help them open up to you about talking about their true feelings. After, have your child watch this inspirational video from children (it is not specifically about stuttering). It is a great way to talk about how your child's communication has a lot of positives. This will allow their confidence to boost and allow them to know that even though they stutter, they can achieve anything!!
