"We have NO data to suggests that parents play a role in either stuttering onset, or its recovery/persistence." Wait Nan. How about Lidcombe? Dr Shenker claims in her first sentence of an article here that "Direct treatment for preschool age children has been shown to be effective in eliminating stuttering." So parents do play a significant role: Those who do not take their kids to Lidcombe or don't do the exercises properly prevent a potential recovery! ;-)
