YES! This is a big clinical factor. We must never forget the deep impact parental attitudes toward stuttering have on the lives of children who stutter! The "steps" are not cut and dried. Each case is unique, so my approach is to "create a space of awareness." BY this I mean, it is often a big step to simply present the activity! The self reflection a parent goes through (sometimes big and sometimes smaller) becomes part of the first step. Then, I let the process unfold as each individual processes their own responses. Thanks so much for the great question!
