Hi Alan, I found your article very informative and interesting. You said that it was not until recently that you actually understood how you developed your stuttering mindset. I am currently working with a 11 year old boy that claims that it does not bother him, but I can not help but think that deep down it really does. I was wondering if you had any advice for a future speech therapist on how we might be able to conquer the negative self-images in children that stutter early on in their lives so they can have confidence in everything that they do? Thank you in advance!
