I am 20 and throughout the years have had countless people say to me "why don't you just do [insert thing that causes me to not stutter] all the time?" And the reason that I don't is extremely difficult to put into words. I'm talking probably over a decade at this point I have felt this way and still don't know how to explain it. "I don't want to" is a convenient half-truth that frankly is just the easiest way to get the person to stop pestering me about it. I was in speech therapy for years as well, and even attended HCRI with it's hefty price tag which did have me talking completely fluent for about six months. And out of everything the biggest thing that has helped me in life is working on my confidence and self esteem. My fluency is not very good yet I am the most confident in speaking situations, and generally happy with myself, than I have ever been. Discovering the vast stuttering community and being reassured that I was not alone in this struggle was also incredibly helpful to me. Is she choosing on her own to attend speech therapy? I know around that age I chose not to have any speech therapy at all until after I graduated, and honestly I'm glad that i did. I am beginning to realize that I'm not really sure where I'm going with all of this, I unfortunately don't really have anything solid to tell you on the advice side of things. I will say this doesn't really strike me as a stuttering issue. I certainly have moments where I opt not to do things purely because stuttering is difficult and I know that particular event will be grueling, but especially at that age I don't see it becoming a lifestyle of sorts. Unless she's getting bullied or something. Perhaps seeing a, uh, regular therapist (?) would be helpful. (apologies it is late and words aren't wording) But I digress. Good luck to you and your daughter.
