It can be confusing and worrying when your child stammers. Our 'Parent 2 Parent: Pull Up a Chair' online support groups are here to help. Meet other UK parents to share your concerns, experiences and tips, or just chat. 

We've got two groups: one for parents of pre- & primary-school-aged children. There's also a group for those of you with children at secondary school. 

Find out when the Parent 2 Parent groups are meeting next.

Is your 7 to 14-year-old into Minecraft? If so, sign them up for our online Minecraft Club. They'll get to play the popular video game with others their age who stammer in a safe environment, under adult supervision.
