You sound like a great parent with totally normal concerns about your kid's well-being! Remember that there is no physical harm in stuttering, and there is also no cure. Using fluency tools doesn't cure stuttering, it only hides it. Using strategies all the time is actually exhausting, the same way a soldier standing at attention without moving or looking around all day long would be exhausting even though it's just standing. Also, you want her home and her conversations with parents to feel safe and non-judgemental. YOU should be the people she gets to relax around and stutter the most freely with. Think of it this way: feel honored that she is comfortable letting herself be *who she is* around you. Consider her choices as bodily autonomy. You and her therapists made the effort to give her the tools she can use when she wants to speak differently. They are valuable tools. It's been established that she can use them. That's the whole goal! Now she gets to choose when to use them. You shouldn't be "forcing" her to use the strategies, but you could talk to her about your concerns, I'm sure she is old enough to understand you have your own feelings and that parents worry. Are you afraid she'll forget how to use them? If so, you could suggest something like playing games every so often with the goal being for her to remember to use them just during that game time. Are you upset that she spent all that time learning skills she doesn't want to use? That's a logical response but deep down it's not really reasonable, when you consider that her bodily autonomy is her own. You'll benefit from adjusting your expectations of what successful sitting therapy outcomes look like. Stuttering isn't unsafe or physically harmful in any way, so you have to work on being comfortable with her decisions, rather than forcing your personal standards of successful communication onto her. She'll be happier and more confident if she's given full control of her own speech.
