From possibilities you would have applied the suggested improvements and you and your child will be going great guns. If not, dont despair because it all takes time. Patience will definitely be required. So be positive and gentle, when you are dealing with your child. Always remember it was not easy growing up when adults wanted you to do something quickly when you have never done anything like what they are requiring you to do.

By being able to associate to your childhood you will be able to associate to your child. Well at least it will give you insight to how you handled things as a child. This will help by taking the tension out of all the situations that you and your child will be involved. It will help establish a talking point from where you will be able to improve your rapport and have a common base.

In all cases have a good attitude, listen and encourage, never let a moment slip by, where you have an opportunity to spend time with your child take it with both hands. Enjoy your childs company because the child will grow up and you would lose the opportunity. Some things in life you only get one shot at, so do everything in your power to enjoy your children.

A stutter normally starts for people in childhood and is often referred to as a childhood stutter. This is often very worrying for parents and the child and it is difficult to know where to seek help for the person who has the stutter.

There are many types of stutter. Family and friends may not even be aware that a person they know has a stutter. That is because the person is able to hide the stutter, by using word avoidance or word substitution.

Other people are unable to do this and have what they would consider an openely more severe stutter.

A stutter would normally occur more when a person is:

under pressure when tired meeting new people speaking in an uncomfortable situation asking questions, for example asking for directions introducing people

Stuttering can also be known in some areas as stammering.

Stutter therapy:

People who have a stutter have different options when seeking therapy. They can go to a speech therapist or speech pathologist. Alternatively they can attend a speech course. These courses can be on a group basis or on a one to one basis.

I personally prefer and advise one to one stutter courses as I believe every person who has a stutter is an individual and has their own individual type stutter.
