I think it’s good that you’re getting help for him now because of how he’s currently feeling. That does have to be scary for a kid. However stuttering *is* often a condition where it begins at a young age, rather than being obvious from the time babies begin to talk. It’s normal that it starts like this. I really beg you to reconsider your perspective that something is wrong with him and it will lessen his chances at a better life. It’s not true, and you taking that perspective and attitude with him could be very damaging and hurtful to him. I wish you the best.
