Minding Less about Stammering

Thursday 3rd November

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 think 'what if' about the future.

This 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.

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