Kid to Kid

a place to share advice with younger kids who stutter

Carl, almost 12, wrote, "Don't be afraid to ask people something you don't know the answer to and to raise your hand in school. I feel that people that stutter should be judged by the inside not the outside. To make my speech better I think about what I'm going to say and use slow and easy speech." (April 16, 1998)

My name is James. I am nine years old. The best thing that helps me with my speech is I stop at periods and commas. I do that when I am speaking or reading. It slows me down so that I have an easy time talking. (July 22, 1999)
