For Parents & Children

This resource is for parents or siblings who have a child who stammers. As of now, there is not very much by way of therapy which could be given to a child DIRECTLY. But dont panic. You can still do a LOT- and the child may have a complete recovery too. Chances of recovery is highest among children- that is, before psychological changes take deep roots in our personality.

    Yes, Hemant, that is the idea. We will keep adding to it. Parents often panic when their child stammers. And in the panic, even the common sense forsakes them. Unfortunately many parents labor under this false notion, that some therapist will do miracles with their child. They dont realise that even the best of therapist is finally going to depend on them – the parents only. And what they can do for the child- is truly simple things, nothing like making a Mars rover!
