I first noticed that I had trouble reading aloud in class as a sophomore in high school. Since then I began to notice it more and more throughout my life. As a current sophomore in college I have made little progress in helping my stutter and it has definitely gotten worse with time. The trouble is that since I expect myself to stutter when doing things (ie ordering food, calling someone on the phone, etc.) I do not do them very often if at all. My point is that I have come to realize that accepting my stutter may be the path towards fluency so I definitely think that having your daughter accept her situation is a wonderful idea. Also, people will make fun of the stutter which will cause her to be more shy and attempt to mask her condition as much as possible. That will lead to a path of self hatred and depression, one I know too well. The best you can do is be there for her and make sure she will talk to you about such things.
