Use the child's s vocabulary about stuttering. Talk to your child about doing this. Nonverbal communication, where action speaks louder than words, might be the best method of communication. Children are the greatest imitators and maybe the best thing you can do is to slow down your own speech and make it easy. This slowing down might also include life-styles which are run a mile a minute.
Time pressures tend to increase stuttering.
Participate in your child's treatment program. If you are not allowed in the therapy room, insist upon it. Be actively involved in the process. Also, talk to the clinician about cooperatively helping your child with the child present so as to help all concerned become active participants in the problem solving process. This guilt leads to inhibition, withdrawal, and avoidant behavior.
