Woody, Thank you for providing a view into the emotions and feelings associated with stuttering. I, too, believe that all involved with the individual who stuttters need to develop an appreciation for and insights into this powerful influence on behavior. A novel I published for 9-12 year olds this year, Jason's Secret, allows children to experience catharsis by sharing Jason's feelings and emotions of isolation, anger, and alienation. And it is very helpful for adults who care for children who stutter to experience how differently a child can view the world. Again, your work is much appreciated. Ellen-Marie
