Also to add to this, we do everything we can to make sure our child knows that stuttering isn’t a big deal. It’s just a different way of talking. We never interrupt him. We never laugh at him, we give him his time to finish his sentences, we praise him for his talents and skills in other areas of life and tell him that if he struggles in speech, that is perfectly fine. We encourage socializing specially with a small group of friends he is comfortable with. We also in some cases let the other person know that he stutters, his tutors, teachers etc. I do email all of his teachers beginning of every year to tell them about my son’s disability and the progress he has made. I keep an eye on his grades (he has accommodation for his speech) to make sure the teachers aren’t grading him on how he says vs what he says.
