Parents workshop: Minding less about stammering

*This event has ended. See our Events page for upcoming workshops.

A free online workshop aimed at parents of young children who stammer, but open to all parents.

As parents we all have fears around our children, it comes with the territory. When a child begins stammering it's natural to panic and feel out of control. Naturally we all just want our children to be OK. If your child has been stammering for a while, it is easy to  think 'what if' about the future.

This 90-minute workshop explores our role as parents, and how focusing on ourselves can help us become more comfortable with stammering and respond in ways that help our children's wellbeing.

The workshop will help you to keep present and focus on your whole child, whilst providing practical strategies on how to respond to stammering in a way that supports your child to grow as a confident communicator, as well as looking at how to provide a positive communication environment for everyone in your family.

The workshop is run by Jaclyn Morton, a Speech & Language Therapist and Mum of two boys. It is aimed at parents of young children (under 7) who stammer but it is open and applicable to all parents.
