Hey Friends~
Speech confidence is important for adults and kids. Whether you are speaking in public or saying your name in front of a class, we all want to speak with confidence and certainly that what we intend to say is what will come out.
Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills. Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do? Does my child stutter? Today’s guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective.
So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you!
Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem.
His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book’s unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they’ve shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.
