For children with a stutter,

their speech won't seem to flow,

as hard as they might try,

words stick and can't let go.

It impacts on their social life,

they can be made fun of every day,

so have a little patience,

let them say what they're trying to say..

Stuttering is a communication disorder causing disruptions in a persons speech, one per cent of the population suffer from this, which is also known as stammering. With stuttering the person's flow in speech is disrupted by a repetition of sounds or syllables or even phrases, sometimes there can also be a period where no sound can be made at all, repetition is the main problem. The impact on a person who stutters can be quite severe, it can make a person who stutters reluctant  to speak, suffer from stress and anxiety and a target for bullies, it shouldn't be that way.
