Hi Julia. Wow, what an important question. Definitely visit the website: www.friendswhostutter.org, which is a support group here in the US for kids who stutter and their families. I think there is something to be said for separating kid support and teen support from adult support, but I think it can also be really helpful for kids who stutter to see adults who stutter. Kids as young as 4 attend the Friends conferences, but I think at that age (and younger) it is really the parents who need the support more than the kids, although seeing other kids who stutter certainly helps to normalize the problem. Take care, Joe
