Ok. Me and my son stutters, and i couldn't understand the genetics since I didn't know of anyone else in the family that stutters. It turns out there is some mild stuttering furter back on my mothers side. Anyway, I really get your frustration with the pediatrician. The problem is that basically no one in the health services know anything about stuttering. We also got the recommendation to wait and see for my son, but since I stutter myself and had read up on the newest research I knew that was nonsense. A good SLP is important, but the parents role is vital in any program you decide on. I just listened to a podcast I think is relevant for you and your family, I oredered the book they talk about. Link to podcast: https://stuttertalk.com/voices-unearthed-the-impact-of-early-childhood-intervention-on-those-who-continue-to-stutter-ep-719/ For my son we started with a program called Palin PCI, which focuses on the environment, how you can make it easier and reduce stuttering by changing stuff in the environment. E.g talking a bit slower, taking pauces etc to reduce communication pressure. Next we started a program called mini kids, which focuses on avoidance reduction and acceptance by stuttering voluntarily. This may sound strange at first, but reducing fear, removing shame etc is vital for life quality, and the kicker is that for many this is the one thing that helps increase fluency as well. If you listen to the podcast, the message there is the same as in the mini kids program. Just ask if you have any questions 🙂
