Hi, Dori: Thanks for the kind words re 'Tongue Tied' and well done on accepting the challenge of homeschooling. I know people who do it - and I know it isn't easy. Advice? I'm sure you know better than I do that the main thing you need to do is avoid making an issue out of it. It's a long time ago now, but I think one of the reasons I felt so bad about my stutter was I knew how much it upset my mother. She passed on her anxiety on to me - and anxiety about speech is the last thing a person who stutters needs. If your son's friends don't even notice anymore, it sounds like you're doing a good job. Does he have any form of speech therapy? John
