>Are you sad that you didn’t outgrow stuttering like most kids normally do? Yes, I do. >Do you think you would’ve outgrown stuttering if you did early intervention when your stuttering first appeared I don't think so [80%](https://lifespantherapies.com/stuttering-in-preschool-years/) of kids outgrow stuttering. When I ask someone who became a non-stutterer how he did it, then they often say: I didn't care anymore. **Conclusion**: Not caring anymore could be interpreted in a few ways: * **stuttering doesn't bother one anymore** => not paying attention to stuttering => he still chooses for breathing out during a block anyway * **the (stutter/evaluation) thoughts and feelings doesn't bother one anymore** => not paying attention to stuttering => he still chooses for breathing out during a block anyway * **overthinking, fight or flight response, other people's judgement, the belief of: no cure, no progress and it's hardwired, doesn't bother one anymore** => not paying attention to stuttering => he still chooses for breathing out during a block anyway Question: above link states that it's best if the listener spends more time with a stuttering kid if he speaks more fluently, and less time interacting with him if he stutters more in order to spontaneously outgrow. Do you agree or hard pass?
