Thanks for your question...yes, I have lots of ideas on this one, and it's a very important topic...If you can send me your address by private email (jsyaruss@csd.upmc.edu) I can send you an article I coauthored with my friend and colleague Ken Logan at the University of Florida...
In that paper, we discussed ways parents can help their children develop healthy attitudes toward stuttering by modeling appropriate attitudes, listening to children's concerns about their speech, and - at the right time - talking with their children about their speaking concerns. I feel that this is the foundation for success in treatment as children make the transition from the preschool years to the school-age years... Is this along the lines of what you were asking about? S
