If you lead with love and support, you and your daughter are going to be just fine. Don't make her feel less-than or different. Be honest with her so she can be honest with you. Be one person she can trust completely and feel safe with no matter what. If you show her and tell her that you love her, that will go so far in helping her. Get to know what resources are out there, and be willing to learn about stuttering so you can better understand what she's going through and better guide her through all the twisty roads of growing up. One of the stuttering orgs (I think the Stuttering Foundation; you can also check the National Stuttering Association) has a list of famous people who stutter. Help your daughter see that she is as limitless and unstoppable as you know she is. Remind her that how she speaks does not define who she is. It's wonderful that you have her on the path to working with a specialist. I didn't do speech therapy until I was 30 and, while I got so much from it, I so wish my parents had cared enough to seek professional help for me. Let your daughter know that you're here to talk about whatever she wants to talk about from her therapy session, but only if she's comfortable opening up. You WANT to do right by your daughter, and that really is what matters most. There will be missteps along the way but mistakes are fertile learning grounds when you have an honest, open and loving relationship with each other. Best of luck to you both. You got this! xo
