The holidays are a fun time for your kiddos, but all the excitement can lead to an increase in stuttering. While this is perfectly normal and expected, you may still be wondering what you can do to practice fluency with them during this exciting time. Below we provide some tips. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show Your Excitement, but Keep It \u2018Reined\u2019 In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span>You may feel just as excited as your kids to celebrate the holidays, and it\u2019s only natural to make comments like, \u201cOnly ___ days until the big day!\u201d or ask questions such as, \u201cHave you started your wish list yet?\u201d This can cause your child to become worked up, leading to increased stuttering. Help your child\u2019s fluency by modulating your enthusiasm. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure to Rest and Have Quiet Time <\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span>While fun, the holidays can also be stressful, even for your kids. Like excitement, stress is also a major contributor to stuttering. Make sure to schedule downtime for your family to unwind and recharge. Activities like coloring, doing puzzles, reading together or playing board games are all great ways to rest while enjoying one another\u2019s company. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, Stuttering Is Okay<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span>Around the holidays, your child will probably see family that they don\u2019t spend very much time with. This in itself can be an exciting or stressful experience, but it can also invite some unwanted questions. Even well-meaning relatives may ask questions like, \u201cWhy are they still stuttering?\u201d or \u201cHave they gotten help yet?\u201d Comments like these can be hurtful, so it\u2019s important to stand up for your child and provide education about what it means to stutter. You can respond by saying, \u201cStuttering is nothing to hide or be ashamed of,\u201d or, \u201cTherapy has given them the confidence to speak freely rather than avoid talking or feeling embarrassed.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
