Thank you for your insightful article! As a sibling of a teenager who stutters, do you have any advice or recommendations as to what I could do to increase my brother's confidence? I noted the mention of "emotional baggage" and changing one's belief system during the discussion. Your article stated that you had adopted a new approach to stuttering though a stuttering management program and that these tools along with a role model increased your confidence. My younger brother possess the tools but remains quiet and reserved in public settings due to a lack of confidence. Is there anything that you would recommend to help him?
