Mama Sanchez reflects on moments from David’s childhood when he was confronted with stuttering-related challenges, including school musicals, class presentations, and running for school government. David asks what led Mama Sanchez to gently push him to do some activities (like joining sports/clubs to make new friends) and allow him to quit at other times (like picking him up from school to avoid a class presentation). In the second QFT segment, the Sanchez duo try to come up with a rubric for how parents might think through these decisions with their children who stutter.

Also, David argues in his “Word Switch” segment that everyone--parents, teachers, SLP’s, and people who stutter themselves--need to stop saying “can’t” when it comes to stuttering (e.g., “I can’t talk” “I can’t say that”). He provides alternative language for changing how we talk and think about stuttering.

Lastly, the Sanchezes play another game of “The Sing’s Speech” the game where they sing famous literary works to famous tunes and have to guess which is which!
