Does ur son stutter in any particular weather more ..l;ike winter ? Involve him in activities that he loves wholeheartedly and speech therapist will helpo him overcome it .

Hi Tanya,

my nephew used to stutter when he started to talk and he did go for speech therapy. He gradually stopped stuttering and I believe when he was in grade 3 he was just fine.

Stuttering is also more likely to occur in children who are under a lot of stress. some steps that my brother and his wife were given to help their child, included:

Not correcting or interrupting him when he is talking, and ask others to not correct him either.

Not asking him to repeat himself or tell him to slow down.

Don't make him practice saying certain words or sounds.

Be sure to talk to him slowly and clearly and give him the time he needs to finish what he is trying to say.

Talk to him a lot by discussing his day, narrating out loud the things you are doing and reading books.

Try to minimize stress or situations that make the stuttering worse.

If the stuttering is ignored, it will usually resolve without any intervention. Parents will need to be supportive though if the stuttering is bothering their child.

On top of all this, Tanya, speech therapy should not be ignored. The therapists have experience in this field which us parents don't have. Also, we are so wired up just thinking about the problem and can make the problem worse. Also, the kids listen more to "others" than their own parents. DON'T WORRY, it is not a permanent problem.

Tulsey , Thank you so much . you are absolutely right . These are exactly the things even we do at home . Even when we go out , say for dinner , we all order our own things and even if he stutters or takes long , we never correct him

he is a tough kid , he has faced a lot because of some problems in his life but he understands his weaknesess and his strengths a lot more than so many kids .....

He is improving a lot . Initially I had to work very very hard with him . Now things are so much easier ....

God is great ......

Yes Tanya, God is great and He is always sticking with good people like you. He is to be thanked that He is giving the inner strength to your son and to his parents to deal with the situation. It is so true that the desi's are very nosey and then they turn around and make fun of the situation. Rather than sympathising or providing any help, they become agonizers and make things worse. Not all desi's are bad. I have been so fortunate to make friends easily and I don't indulge into or invite personal issues. There is plenty to talk about. My mom still says, "doosaroh ke chugli ker ke unka bojh halka karte hoe. Kooch acha nahee hai bolne ko toh kooch mat bolo".

Yesterday, Archana's acting at Ajit's house was so great. I loved her courage to speak up with facts. It scared the hell out of Ajit and his mother. Today when she came home, she became so timid in front of Savita. The only evidence that she had, she could not save it from Savita...who burnt it.....

I think that Archana will get deeper and deeper into trouble with Ajit and his dhamki's. She will go to the police station and complain and eventually end up in jail protecting Manav. She knows that if Manav ends up in jail there is too much at stake for his family. So she will put the blame on herself.

With so much hangama going on with Manav's sister, Savita is going to become a nut case. The divorce will not happen as Archu will be in jail.

Shravani will end up delivering her child without marrying Manav.

Manav will be so stressed out that anyone in his case will turn mental.

Varsha will prove that Ajit is the culprit and this will clear all differences and finally ArMan will be together.....

In this movie, if I can remember, the father did not know about the the lover SRK. There was no communication about this boy in question. Parents do what is good for their kids and arranged marriages are quite acceptable in India. That movie was more for parents to realize that times are changing and if their kids pick a partner for themselves should be considered with open communication. I totally believe that children who are heard by their parents do not make as many mistakes as kids who don't tell their parents because they are scared of getting beaten up, locked up or married away quickly.
In countries or cultures like India where matchmaking is the norm, people are very aware of the pros and cons of arranged marriages. One of the strongest reasons for arranged marriages is finding a partner who is compatible ethnically, religiously, socially and culturally.

I also think that arranged marriages tend to have a much lower divorce rate than marriages based on romantic love. There are several reasons for this, including the cultural compatibility. For one thing, cultures that practice arranged marriages are often very close-knit, and tend to provide individuals and families within their system with more support

For another thing, when marriages are arranged, great effort is made to pair up couples with similar social standing and financial status, so these couples may have fewer reasons to argue than romantically paired couples. Finally, many couples who had arranged marriages, like myself, say that love grows over time and stems from meeting the challenges that any married couple faces together.

totally agree with you Tulsey. What i was trying to say is that she loved SRK so if she couldn't tell her father about it she should have said no to other guy only for ethical reasons. I mean to say that she could have handled the situation better. for example tell her father that she can't marry the other guy for whatever reason. The lack of communication between parent child is what went wrong in the movie. as far as arranged marriages go i have no objections with it but i'm just scared of it...its the fear of the unknown

wow very nice discussion going on!

i agree abt the desi parents who dont stop their children when they r doing something. they think its an insult to their kids, nd consequently to them. they see it as an insult to their upbringing. what they forget to see is that for this "izzat" nd "ego" their kids r learning bad things nd treating others bad. tomorrow when their kids will hav kids, they will b doing the same. this is very common amongst the desis here nd also back home.

my mom doesnt hav many friends. i guess she has two daughters who r 20+ she doesnt need someone else as we r her friends. nd she doesnt like all the politics that desi aunties play here(nd also back home). she just takes care of her kids nd spends time with them.

Carpe, the lack of communication was very common back then. its still very common in our desi societies. i m very fortunate to hav parents who r so open with us nd we talk abt everything/anything. they dont care abt what the society is going to think. they just care if what they r doing is wrong or right. even i hav learned the same. i dont care abt what the society is going to think if i do this or that. these ppl will gossip today but they will stop one day. if u take their words seriously nd stop urself from doing something, then, in the end, its ur loss.

my parents r liberal to some extent. obviously there r limitations but they hav immense trust in me specially out of all 3 kids (nd sometimes i get scared what if i break their trust😳) i think gud communication leads to openness nd openness leads to trust. nd parent's trust in a child makes the child stronger. i m not a parent but as a child i hav felt this. my parents trust me so much so to keep their expectations high nd never to break their trust, i always try to exceed their expectations.

It is so funny...Monica, my oldest is a Leo with a very strong head. The only way to deal with her when our minds don't meet is to LISTEN to her more and give our views less. Once she sees that mom and dad are listening to her she opens up and then we give our views. We can't TELL this Leo what she should do. When she is upset with us, my husband who is usually of a cool mind, would say something so funny to break the silence....the thing that I remember is. "Monica, god did not send an instruction book to us when you were born, we are learning it every day with you....it is all new to us aswell and we have to iron it out together" It is just the way he talks that calms her down. I am more after the dicipline and that does not work well with her or him.
