@lisalucier Yes it is my own creation. Thank you.

@theotherone The suggestion of singing with your son is a positive option. Youtube is an endless supply for children of all ages. I do understand about your concerns when your son sees you struggling. Your depression does not make you a poor mother. Try not to allow those kinds of lies to rob you of spending time with your son. It is hard as depression drains one of motivation. Depression is a thief and I am in no way criticizing you. The fact you have stated your concerns says you do care and you are a good mom. Try what @hopeful33250 mentioned and check out the site she mentioned. Music can help in so many ways. Youtube children's songs-even the words are with them. One of my favorites is Bull Frogs and Butterflies. I sang these with my kids when they were little-when we listened on an old record player-yup, vinyl. Music can be energizing too.
Thankful you have come here to share with us.

Thank you very much for your advices.
When I am at home, I don't stuter that much, but if I let's say go to playground with my son, it is hard to start a conversation with other parents.
My son loves to sing. He has several favourite songs in Youtube like Johny, Johny, yes Papa and like that. He is 3 years old. I need to try to sing with him.
By the way, I'm his dad, not mom. ☺
