I am an SLP and recently received this question from a parent: Tonight, my child is having a party with 3 friends and I have never heard her more dysfluent. It is so severe tonight, I actually had to go upstairs because I needed to remove myself from hearing distance. Her friends are great and they don't say anything to her. I called her upstairs and asked her if she heard her rocky speech and she said no. I know she is excited about her friends sleeping over, and she just doesn't know she is doing it. I need some coping methods for situations like this. Should I have asked her if she heard it, asked her to slow down, or completely ignore it? Without knowing the details of this case, are there any general suggestions that you can offer parents with questions like this? Thank you, Judy
