I have a child who also stutters. Try to take them as soon as possible to a slp that works with cognitive behaviour therapy. Also teach them to be positive about their speech and teach them positive a...

Yeah that does sound really condescending and I would probably hate that. I will not be drawing any attention to it. I haven’t been helping with words AT ALL. Like less so than I would in a conversa...

Just say there's no need to apologise, it doesn't bother me at all. Stuttering is not an attribute. It's a burden. I don't think very many people would like hearing someone likes something they'd do ...

I wouldn’t. If someone ever told me they liked my stutter it would honestly annoy me. Just reassure him that it’s okay that he stutters and he doesn’t need to keep apologizing....
