Hi, my name is Markos. I am 10 years old. I am from Cyprus. which is an island in the Mediterranean Sea near Greece and Turkey. My favorite games are Fortnite and Brawl Stars.


I began stuttering around 4 years ago. When I stutter, I repeat monosyllabic words or the first syllable of a longer word. Very rarely I might have some mild blocks. Because of stuttering, I avoided raising my hand to speak in class, ordering in restaurants, or placing a phone order. I also avoided asking for assistance in shops or socializing with boys or girls that I just met.


After going to speech therapy. I feel more comfortable speaking in different situations. I am still not as comfortable as I would like to be when I place phone orders or when I am asked at school to go from class to class and make a short announcement. I believe that in the following months I will be able to speak without any fear in every situation.

Hi! My name is Iris. I am 7 years old. I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I like to read. I am really good at Wobble Dogs. Sometimes, I stutter. When I stutter, I feel calm. Something that is hard about stuttering is feeling shy. My advice for other kids who stutter is to keep on talking, even if you stutter.
