He will be 5 years old in July. Sometimes he barely studders and other times he studders every other word. I’m very patient and am wondering if he needs speech therapy. This only started after I had my daughter who is now 1 year old.
Your best source of help for stuttering, especially with a young child is The Stuttering Foundation of America. Check out www.stutteringhelp.org and you will find tips for parents of ways they can help, if and when your child needs to see a speech therapist who specializes in treating stuttering, a list of referrals to specialists all over the world, online videos, helpful books you can find at your library or in the estore, etc. They are a nonprofit group started by a man who stuttered.
There is no "cure" for stammering/stuttering, but techniques can be learned that will enable the speaker to control his/her speech so there is less stammering/stuttering.

Yeah I started really unsevere stuttering in 4th and now I’m in 7th.
I don’t repeat sound repetitions like (h-h-h-h-h-h-hello)
I do this: (George Washington, George Washington is the first president of the USA)

IS THERE A WAY TO SELF CURE MYSELF?
Thanks
deep breathing when speaking can help i have stutter after stroke and this is what speech therapist is doing with me good luck
Personally, my stuttering has improved dramatically since childhood. As a child, while trying to talk, I would stutter for maybe 15 seconds on a single word. Now, it’s way better and I can almost avoid stuttering all together.
My stutter is weird because, public speaking is easier for me. I’m a rather popular person, I have tons of friends and I play sports. I stutter more when there is NO pressure to talk well. I stutter more talking to my mother or father than anyone. There’s a trend– I seem to stutter more and more, the more comfortable I get with people. It’s happening with my coach (I’ve known him going on four years now), my girlfriend (ex now, but it started happening after 6 months) and of course my parents (my whole life, 20 years). The only exception is when first meeting someone new– I always seem to stutter when saying my name… and only my name. People are like, "What, you don’t know you’re own name?!?"
Can anyone explain this?
I would guess when speaking with family/friends you are not as attentive to what you are saying and are probably speaking faster and with less forethought then you would when addressing strangers..
