Hi Diane, I don't remember a lot of teasing in my life about stuttering. I didn't like stuttering and avoided it but I was always a pretty verbal social kid. If I was working with a child now who was being teased, I would definitely get to the root of the teasing at school or at home. Then I would work very hard to build the child's confidence in his communication abilities. I always tell kids who stutter, that it's not their fault that they stutter. It is just something that happens and then move on from there. What you want for anybody who stutters is to "say what they want, when they want, where they want " with pragmatic appropriateness and some stuttering. J-J-Judith
