Ok to be fair everyone is different and different therapies can help different people. with that caveat out of the way, there are therapists who want to be progressive and tell you stuttering is ok (which is good), but then they teach you ways to minimize and control your stutter. Sometimes they call it *managing*, but if the end goal is to teach you how to stutter less, that's trying to control stuttering and why would you need to control something that's supposed to be ok? While stuttering itself is ok, there are things we may do that make our own stuttering more difficult and painful than it needs to be. Some of these things are conscious (switching words, inserting sounds) while others are more unconscious (holding back and blocking). It sounds like this little girl is not negatively affected by her stutter and is communicating well. Maybe her communication can be more comfortable and this is what the mother wants to explore and that's great. Or maybe it's already comfortable and she wants to her daughter to know more about stuttering so when she does get negative reactions or run into harder speech situations, she it's not a big scary unknown. I think that's great, but it requires an SLP who gets stuttering isn't a hammer looking to fix another nail.
