My parents were absent when I was a tot and I was raised by my grandparents, I don’t think I had a permanent stuttering in kindergarten, it only got worse when my parents became present in my life around when I was in second grade. They still try to convince me even now that the reason I stutter more around them is because I feel more comfortable with them and I want their attention. As much as I want to deny it, in a deeper level of course I want my parents’ approval, but on an even deeper level I’m just nervous around them lol They don’t know how to raise a human being, let alone a human being with a stutter. Just instant bought 2 of Charles Van Riper’s book on eBay, they are like $12 total. I should read and find out more about myself, and I’m happy I’ll be having 2 more old binding books on my shelf :)
