hi! i definitely had the same struggles as your daughter growing up :( i suggest speech therapy as soon as possible. my stutter never went away (it’s severity fluctuates), but speech therapy gave me tools to advocate for myself. it’s also just great speaking practice. yeah it’s super hard making friends with stutter, but always keep encouraging her to talk to her classmates. isolation (in my experience) always led my to stutter getting worse. lastly, just listening to her about her struggles helps a lot too.
