I think you have to tenderly approach the situation with parental love. I advise you every now and then encourage the use of strategies, but understand she is still so, so young. 10? Often with stuttering, we start to really incorporate our tools from our speech pathologists in middle school (sweeping generalization) when we get self conscious (and let's face it, teased!). We don't use them at home and with close friends. It takes alot of energy out of us to control our speech, and, of course, some stutters can't control it. I highly recommend John Hendrickson's book - Life on Delay (I've suggested this a few times to the reddit community. I am not paid! I just loved the book) and checking out the national stuttering foundation's website. I think it's there that they list support groups. I know there's a couple of them for kids. And, definitely check out Camp More and Friends Who Stutter convention. You're a good mama!! Keep taking her to speech therapy. Oh, and some people feel that the tide is turning with their attitude towards stuttering. They want to feely stutter and let whoever they are talking to do the work to come to terms they are speaking with someone who is awesome and confident with their disability!
