Do check this out. We do know that the more adverse attention paid to stuttering, the worse it gets. The less outward attention you pay to this, the better. That is to say, be conserned but DO NOT let your child know this.
We reciently got all the facts on research done on stuttering in the 1940-50's. 2 groups of kids were picked at random. Teachers were told to correct one group if the had any problems with speech but not the other. Most in the corrected group ended up stuttering for life, but not the other group.
