Summary
Parents of children who stutter (CWS) often hesitate to discuss stuttering openly. This review reveals a significant lack of research on parental communication dynamics and stuttering disclosure, highlighting the need for more studies.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Developmental Psychology
- Family Communication Studies
Background:
- Parents of children who stutter (CWS) frequently experience uncertainty and discomfort discussing stuttering.
- Open communication and stuttering disclosure are challenging for parents of CWS.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map and understand the communication dynamics between parents and CWS.
- To explore the process of stuttering disclosure to the child and others.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
- Searches were performed across multiple databases including PubMed, CINAHL, and ERIC.
- Studies focused on parents of CWS, with rigorous title, abstract, and full-text screening.
Main Results:
- Fourteen records from 12 countries were included, representing diverse research designs.
- Information was gathered on the nature, benefits, and drawbacks of open communication and disclosure.
- Reasons for parental reluctance or willingness to communicate openly were identified.
Conclusions:
- Limited empirical evidence exists on parental communication and stuttering disclosure for CWS.
- The complex communication dynamics necessitate further in-depth research.
- This review provides a foundation for future studies and clinical guidance for parents.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...
