I agree with the other posters that there is no reason you should pressure your child to use speech strategies. I think this is actually VERY important…. And I’m really glad you asked this question here! You mentioned that right now, the stutter is not affecting her confidence. If you pressure her to use speech strategies, *you’re at serious risk of destroying her confidence. *You’ll be giving her the impression that there’s something wrong with the way she speaks. I could be wrong, but I think either you or your kid’s SLP misunderstand the point of speech strategies. They are not cures for stuttering. They are things you can use to get out of a hard situation, or to mitigate your anxiety. If your child doesn’t feel that she’s in a hard situation with stuttering, and it doesn’t cause anxiety, then there’s no reason to use speech strategies. And as I said, if you pressure her to use them, you could actually *create* an anxiety problem where none existed, which would only make the stuttering much worse. This is based off my own experience and many others that I’ve talked to on the internet. Without knowing your child or the kind of stuttering, or the particular strategies, of course I can’t truly give an informed opinion. This is just my personal response to your post :)
