Have plenty of quiet talks with your child. A period of 5 to 10 minutes is fine, but just make sure that you do it often. Talk about things that interest your child without asking questions or intimidating them.

Do Not Make It a Taboo

Your child may feel that their stuttering is an unmentionable topic. Parents can end this feeling by using the most direct approach. Give plenty of emotional support when your child is having a hard time. You may want to say something to them like:

"That was really hard to say, wasnīt it?"

or

"I sometimes have trouble saying that, too!"
