Naimah,thanks for your comments and question. I too agree that this is a wonderful way to demystify and normalize stuttering for kids. In a sense, this is counseling, because you are reframing stuttering by directly targeting a change in how you feel and what you believe. Some of the ideas expressed may easily be used as icebreakers when discussing a specific topic - but for us, it has served as a great tool to openly talk about your stuttering in a more public forum such as school. Bill Murphy laid some major groundwork in this area and we have used this format predominately with larger audiences. As far as deeper issues are concerned, that remains highly individual for each child, his family and their own specific needs.
