For people with a stammer, it can be hard to deal with, but it’s made worse by the fact that understanding of the condition amongst the general public is low. The speech problem usually starts in childhood, between the ages of around two and five years old, affecting around 8% of children and 2% of adults – that’s more than 1.3 million people in the UK. International Stammering Awareness Day (October 22) aims to destigmatise stammering and promote understanding and support for people who do have it, including advice for parents about how they can help affected children. “There’s a lot of stigma around stammering in society – even from an early age, children may be teased or bullied, and adults may tell them to speak properly,” says Catherine Woolley, children and families programme lead at STAMMA (the British Stammering Association). “Children who stammer sometimes feel embarrassed or worried about their speech and try to hide it. They might start to speak less or change words they want to say to ones which are easier to produce. “How you respond to your child can affect how they feel about their talking. It’s common for parents to worry about stammering, and if this is you, you can seek support to help you feel comfortable around your child’s stammering.” Woolley points out that, contrary to popular belief, stammering isn’t caused by anxiety or stress, and there’s no evidence that people who stammer are less intelligent than fluent speakers. “Research suggests stammering is neurological, which means there are subtle differences in the way the brains of people who stammer work,” she explains. “This means it belongs to the same group of neurodiverse conditions as ADHD, autism and dyslexia.” The condition is often hereditary, with about 60% of people who stammer having another family member who stammers, and while there’s no specific cure, Woolley says there are many different techniques and approaches that can increase people’s fluency in certain situations, although they may not work for everyone. “There isn’t one treatment which can miraculously make all people stop stammering,” she stresses. “Everyone’s stammer is unique, as is the way they want to manage their speech.” But there’s no doubt, she says, that parents can help their children deal with stammering, and make them feel more comfortable. 1. Value your child’s stammered voice “It’s simply the way they talk,” says Woolley. “What’s important is what they say and not the way they say it.” 2. Be patient Although it can obviously take more time for a child who stammers to say something, it’s important for parents and the rest of the family not to rush them. “Give them time to say what they want, and model this to their siblings and other family members,” she adds. 3. Don’t finish their words or sentences Woolley says that while it can be tempting to finish your child’s words or sentences for them, especially if you can see them struggling, it’s important to resist this urge to help. “It can be disempowering and embarrassing if you speak over them,” explains Woolley, “not to mention frustrating if your guess is wrong and they have to start all over again.” 4, Slow down yourself Rather than telling your child to speed up, slow down your own speech to reduce any time pressure they may feel. 5. Don’t show your own anxietyEven if you feel anxious when your child is stammering, try not to show it, advises Woolley, who suggests maintaining natural eye contact and remaining calm. “It can be uncomfortable listening to someone who stammers, but think how they feel. Try and maintain eye contact even if you feel awkward, as looking away can make them feel awkward too, or think you’ve lost interest in what they’re saying. Keep looking at them and give the occasional encouraging head nod to show you’re interested.” 6. Try not to be negative Woolley says it can be important to describe stammering using neutral language instead of negative references. So, for example, say, ‘He’s stammered more this week’, rather than, ‘His speech has been bad’. 7. Seek help Parents who are worried about their child’s talking or would like some help should contact their local NHS speech and language therapy department to talk through their concerns. In addition, STAMMA offers free Parent2Parent peer support groups run by parents of children who stammer, and workshops for such parents, plus a helpline (0808 802 0002) and a webchat service.

Rumer Willis has hit back at online criticism over a photo of herself breastfeeding her daughter, Louetta. The actress took to Instagram on Friday to share a post in honour of her 35th birthday, which featured the selfie of her breastfeeding her daughter, who she welcomed in April with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas. In the comments, many of her followers criticised her for sharing the photo, with questions about “why” she posted it on social media. However, Willis - the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore - didn’t hesitate to hit back at the criticism, as she started off by simply responding to the “why?” question with: “Cause I want to.” Another Instagram user also alleged that Willis posted the photo “for attention,” with claims that “nursing a baby is very private and should not be displayed like a circus event”. In response, Willis expressed how she viewed the ability to feed her daughter as a “privilege,” and accused the critic of holding “a limited view of” breastfeeding. She continued her comment by defending her decision to post the photo, and explaining how she wanted it to lessen the “shame” that women face. “I think it’s incredibly important to share because there is an incredible amount of shame that comes with being born into a female body,” Willis wrote. “And I want to lead by example in teaching my daughter that she doesn’t have to be ashamed of her body ever and that she can decide how she wants to share it.” When a third critic on Instagram claimed that the Sorority Row star was a “narcissistic” and “insecure”, she responded by telling them that she “really couldn’t care less about [their] opinion,” or about what they “think [she’s] doing,” since she knows what her “intentions” are. After claiming that she “pitied” the critic, she went on to emphasise that being able to breasfeed, in addition to being a mother, is a “privilege”. “[It’s one] I definitely don’t take for granted,” she wrote. “So I will celebrate every sec of this journey because this is my first time doing all of this and I honour and have the deepest reverence for all of the women who have walked this path before me.” She concluded: “I’m sharing because things like breastfeeding need to be honoured instead of shamed. I feel so sorry for you. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.” Earlier this year, Willis took to Instagram to announce the birth of her daughter with Thomas. “Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. You are pure magic,” she wrote in the caption, alongside a snap of her then-newborn. “Born at home on Tuesday April 18th. You are more than we ever dreamed of.” Willis’ response to critics over her breastfeeding photo also comes days after she celebrated her body on Instagram. As she shared a nude photo of herself, she wrote that, although her body “feels a little different,” she’s “truly in awe everyday” when she looks at her child. She went on to praise her body for how it looked, while acknowledging that her body was “still redjusting” after giving birth. “This body of mine that I spent so many years trying to shape and mold into what I thought was desirable or made me feel good in clothes, is a little softer and rounder and jiggly and different and that’s okay, more than okay, it’s kind of amazing because I grew a person inside of it,” she wrote. “This little being that I love with a fierceness and wonder that reaches new levels everyday. I know my body is still readjusting, but whatever shape it ends up in I am just grateful for all that it did and continues to do.” She also described her breasts as a “gift” to her baby, before detailing the different ways in which she’s used her body to care for her child. “In the ongoing process of transformation, I am grateful for every twist and turn,” Willis continued. “My breasts, might be bigger and perhaps ever so drifting downward but what a gift and privilege that they can feed and provide nourishment for my Lou. They also make a fantastic pillow while we co sleep. My hips and tummy, now softer and rounder, cradle my daughter in safety, warmth, and love.” Read More Rumer Willis says she is ‘grateful’ to her body following birth of daughter Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah speaks out about his early signs of dementia before announcing diagnosis Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis says she is ‘not good’ amid his ongoing struggle with dementia Rumer Willis says she is ‘grateful’ to her body following birth of daughter Jana Kramer reveals she couldn’t brush her teeth for three months while pregnant Mom documents at-home abortion to destigmatise abortion pills
