Thank you. I agree. We have always been told to not make a big deal about it, so we have tried not too. His Dad did tell him that he needs to learn how to lower his volume. Our son called him out for telling him what to do with his stutter. I told His Dad that he probably shouldn't have said anything, because we've been told for years to let him dictate how he addresses it. I know his Dad was coming from a place of fear and remembering how much teens can be jerks. Son is nervous about middle school, and we've told him that some kids are just jerks. He always has a confident retort, but I'm his mom so I still worry that it's just an act.
