Content

The worst thing my family has done is make my childhood all about getting rid of my stutter. They would make me aware, and then self conscious, about my stutter all the time. This self consciousness turned into stuttering anxiety. It's great that you're taking your son to SLP, but please understand that it is OK to stutter and he should understand this as well. The less pressure you put on him the better his speech will be as an adult.
