Mucho gracias. Just yesterday I had an 11 year-old come in for only his 4th visit. A grandparent did carpool. Right in front of the boy she remarked: "He stuttered alot in the car on the way over. When should we see improvement out of your office.?" Wow. I came to his aid and said: "Let's pretend he had four golf lessons from a teacher and then you went to play with him. Would you expect him to hit every shot long and straight? (NO) The best way you can support him is with patience and understanding as he learns his new skills. Can you do that? (smile and yes)" Cheers, Tim
