People who stutter are often embarrassed by the problem. A strong self-esteem can help them rise above embarrassment. Again, stuttering is not a mental problem. Stutterers are just as smart as everyone else. People as varied as Winston Churchill and Marilyn Monroe have stuttered and led very successful lives.
Most children outgrow their stuttering without therapy.
If you think that your child may have a serious stuttering problem with stuttering, such as showing frustration from stuttering, contact your pediatrician or family practitioner who will refer you to a speech language pathologist, if necessary, to being a stuttering rehabilitation program. There is help for stutterers. A variety of programs are available. However, a program that works for one person may not work for another. But with hard work, most stuttering can be overcome.
