Comments

In your article you wrote that a speech therapist advise you to ignore the early stuttering of one of your children, your child is now a fluent speaker. Also, based on your childhood experiences with your parents, can you please comment on Johnson's diagnosogenic theory that if a child is made self-conscious about his normal disfluencies, he may begin to stutter. What is your opinion about Johnson's theory.
