Hi there. A book I would recommend is Stuttering - Inspiring Stories and Professional Wisdom For me, it is very important not to focus on eradicating stammering in treatment or looking to give the message that it can be. It is more about living with stammering as a part of the self, valuing who you are as a person. Your attitude is one of acceptance and the fact you talk to your son gives him a space to talk about his experience in a sensitive and supportive manner. Can’t highlight the importance of this. Often times, family can reinforce a negative attitude towards stammering which can be internalised by a child. Teachers play a very important role here too. If you have not previously, it may be helpful to speak to his teacher in school or when he transitions to a new school. Also important is to promote the idea of effective communication rather than fluency. I see that you do this… A lot of your sons journey will be navigating it alone in social circles. While I hear and understand your concerns around ridicule, for what it’s worth, I have made some really good friends over the years, who accept me for who i am. Regarding a younger version of me…how I longed for those around me to understand the toll it took on me, how avoidance was a strategy that worked but came at great cost…. Your son may need to revisit therapy again in time, to explore and process the unfolding of his journey. Any questions, please feel free to reach out Keep us posted
