Hiya! My name is Zahrah, welcome to my show dedicated to empowering parents, teachers, and therapists in the world of language development! Each episode dives into practical tips, insightful interviews, and expert advice to help those who support children in all environments. We’ll explore helpful language tips for toddlers to teens, address common struggles we face in our profession and offer strategies to make the journey smoother. Join me for practical insights, heartfelt stories, and actionable strategies.
In this episode, we’re talking all about stammering:
what it is
what can cause it
what you can do at home to support your child.
I’ll break down some of the common misconceptions around stammering and share 6 practical ways you can support your child’s communication and make talking feel more comfortable and enjoyable.
Whether your child has recently started stammering or you simply want to understand more, this episode is a great place to start. 💛
