[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 498042, member: 7083"] difficult child has a moderately-severe stutter that was only very marginally helped with speech therapy. The best thing to do for her is to let her talk and ignore the stutter. Be patient. Don't try to finish sentences to help them out. Any heightened emotion (anxiety, excitement, sadness) except anger makes it worse. Anger makes it go away with difficult child. If she yells, she doesn't stutter. The harder she tries to say something, the harder it is for her to say. Unless you are given specific directions by a speech therapist, I would just be patient and let him speak as he is able.
