[QUOTE="Malika, post: 473946, member: 11227"] Hello again. Can I ask how long your little boy has had his stutter? Opinion seems to be that the longer this goes untreated, the harder it is to treat. Surely this in itself is a clear indication that something is not quite right? I do understand your husband's attitude. Nobody wants their child to be different or to have problems. However, I think accepting reality is like a process; it comes gradually. Your husband is adamant now but if there really is something "wrong" (and of course, as you say, there is an awful lot that is right with him) with your son, then this will just make itself increasingly obvious and your husband will have to start on the journey of acceptance and finding solutions. I am personally not an alarmist - I tend not to see problems everywhere in terms of children's behaviour and I am loathe to label. However, what you said about your son does actually make me feel concerned. He stutters, he has some problems socialising and socialises with younger children, does not like drawing or colouring, seems to be suffering from anxiety at daycare sufficient to make himself vomit, seems to have some obsessiveness or anxiety around food generally. Something is going on... I do agree that is your joint parental responsibility to find out what it is. Please do try tackling your husband again about getting your son evaluated - you may be very grateful that you did. [/QUOTE]
