Tip Tuesday: Supporting Young People Who Stammer ✨💙 🚫 Avoid Pressuring with Advice! 🚫 If a young person has a stammer, avoid saying: ❌ "Slow down." ❌ "Just relax." ❌ "Take a deep breath." These phrases, though well-meaning, can feel frustrating. Instead, create a safe, patient, and supportive space where they feel heard and understood. Your encouragement makes a difference.
