Dear Annie, Let me suggest a simply way to listen to a person who stutters. Listen "past" the stuttering as if it weren't there and enjoy the conversation. Stay engaged, be as animated as the situation calls for, keep normal eye contact, etc. just as if the person were not stuttering. It's not always easy, but with practice, it gets easier and easier. If the person brings up the stuttering, then enjoy the conversation about that as well. Ken
