I'm a dad who stutters. I do a pretty good job of concealing it, so it's usually not too big of a deal. My kids get pretty angry and bothered on those very rare occasions when people do laugh, but I tell them if it doesn't bother me it shouldn't bother them. Both of them attempted to make fun of it, but only one time each. When my first kid did, I was having a particularly hard time talking ,my wife started to get really angry with my kid but I stopped her. Instead we talked about, I explained it's a problem, a disability, and they felt bad and it never happened again. Same thing basically happened with my other kid a few years later. We've talked open and honestly about it. If anything, both of my kids grew up very protective of me. I actually feel bad, when we go out in public they would try to do the talking for me so I wouldn't be in a position where I'd be stuttering in public. That's not really a burden I want them to bear, but I appreciate their concern and protectiveness.
