I can't imagine how that feels for you. I'm sorry. Luckily your son has something a lot of stutterers don't. A parent who understands. One that is taking action early to help him overcome his stutter. Someone that he can relate to. Many stutterers feel pretty isolated by their stutter. Your son isn't alone. You're there. I'd strongly encourage you to do two things. * Share your feelings and experiences with him. Have real conversations. * Start / resume a speech therapy program yourself. It sounds like you have an opportunity to improve your fluency. If you and he are both working on your fluency together, I could see that being really beneficial to both of you. I'm not suggesting you share private therapy sessions, but if you're both working on the same skills when you're home, I'm imagining good things for both of you.
