>I feel it’s my duty as a mother to fix my stutter to help her How is you being fluent going to help her? Stuttering isn't a learned behavior. If anything she needs a role model to show her that stuttering is ok. She is ok. She is not broken. needs The last thing your child needs to feel is that there is something wrong with her and she needs to be fixed. While I do understand where you are coming from, hearing that you are heartbroken and your child stuttering is your worst nightmare makes me more worried for her than anything else. The issue of stuttering is not with the stuttering itself. It's with all of the negative association and stigma which create fear and shame, which in turn cause them to try to hide and avoid their stutters, which cause them to develop a bunch of harmful coping and avoidance behaviors which ingrain themselves throughout their childhood and are difficult to try and undo. I support therapy, but only by a specialist who understands the real issues of stuttering and isn't simply going to have them read sound sheets or practice breathing or any other fluency directed nonsense that doesn't work for the vast majority of people who stutter. I hope you can talk with your husband and understand his concerns against therapy. And I hope he comes around.
