Jim One of the difficult things about stuttering is that it can be quite variable and sometimes seeming to be episodic. Although sometimes these changes may relate to environmental triggers, at other times I think that they may be related to the child’s thoughts and feelings. Also, speaking is a motor act and you may have noticed that whenever we perform a motor act such as exercising, sometimes we are better at it than at other times. I suggest that you try not to pay too much attention to the day-to-day changes in your son’s fluency rather focus on overall communication and participation with others. Hope this is helpful, Barbara.
