Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree with all your saying as to what his needs are, but realistically, can any one person (therapist or parent) respond to all these different need levels (mechanics, psychological, emotional). I don't understand how explaining the mechanics of talking and telling a child who stutters that "it doesn't have to be hard" would have a huge impact. It is hard, in a way that we who don't stutter can't ever understand. (Although reading Jesse Loesberg, Marty Jeezer, and others is helpful!) What you're saying looks good on paper, I'm just not sure it translates well into the real world. Or maybe I just need more explaination! I have accessed all the resources you mentioned, even attended the conference in Balitimore this summer with my entire family -- and it was wonderful! But the stuggle continues....
