Parents of children who stammer (also called a stutter) may see their child suffering with embarrassment, frustration or anxiety but feel at a loss as to how best to help. The book explains stammering from a child's point of view, using firsthand accounts to demonstrate the common feelings of anguish experienced, and clarifying what the child is likely to want and need in terms of support at home, school and in social situations. The book is full of helpful advice for carers about how to build a child's confidence with techniques and tips to alleviate the stammer and improve self-esteem and school performance. This accessible resource will shed light on the perplexing nature of stammers, enabling those who care for children affected to find answers and get the best possible help.
