Y?all,
Today I met a person, besides me, who has a child and/or grandchild who may or may not stutter. What is the best publicly available information of how to handle a child who may OR may not be a future Person Who Stutters.
Both Joe and I really want to know a source of information that is agreed on by at least some of the experts as being valid for handling these precious little persons.
In case there is not a book, a chapter in a book or a website that explains how to treat kids who may or may not stutter could one of you, at least, tell both of us what we can do or should not do to minimize the danger of defining a child into a corner where the cute little tyke is overwhelmed and defines himself as a stutterer.
My friend's three-year old son who, a) either because of his inability to decide which word to use, or b) because he wants to "choose" a word which he can say, sometimes has hesitations in his speech.
If there is a SID4 member in Everett, I would gladly pay for his evaluation.
My grand daughter as yet only squeals. Acts delightful and is the delight of my life. (While I try to have one of you, dudes and dudettes, answer my inquiry).
Gunars Neiders, just plain loving grandfather.
