Hi! My name is Joaquin. I am 7 years old, and I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I like to play soccer. I am really good at winning soccer. Sometimes, I stutter. When I stutter, I sometimes feel mad. Something that is hard about stuttering is blocks and repetitions. It feels like a rubber band in my throat. I don’t stutter that much, but sometimes. My advice for other kids who stutter is to keep on talking, even if you stutter!

Hi, my name is Ryan, I am 10 years old, and I live in Munster, Indiana with my family. I go to Eads Elementary School. I stutter when I talk in a rush, or when I’m excited. I use the deep breath strategy, and I sometimes use the easy starts strategy. One thing I’m not proud of is that I get sick a lot, but I make the most of it by making stuff and reading. I like to do stuff that most kids don’t do, such as attempting to make a book or a paper toy train. I also like to engineer and make things that replicate the real thing. One of my favorite things to do is to set up and operate my N scale model train in the basement.
