While in many cases we don’t know what precisely causes children to stammer, I know in my case it was associated with significant childhood trauma I experienced. Whatever the cause, we do know the stigma and emotional turmoil that stammering children face, is immense. The danger is that children withdraw and lose the social contact that is so vital in their early years development. They can lose confidence. And I am afraid to say, from my own experience, that there are still people in our country who mock stammering people, mimic their speech patterns, or even label them ‘stupid’. This must change. Around 8% of children experience a stammer in their young lives.
Children need to see role models who have got on with their lives despite their stammer. Well known people from Joe Biden, to Kendrick Lamar, to the founder of the NHS Aneurin Bevan, all experienced stammers during their lives.
