I put a Chinese finger trap on parents have them do pseudo stutters (nice big blocks). Then right in the middle I say "slow down ! or take a deep breath!". When they EXPERIENCE the reaction I have closure in most cases. Checklists of "dos and don'ts" have marginal impact. Role play and have them FEEL it. Cheers, Tim
