Sounds very similar to my experience with therapy as a kid. Your son is very lucky to have such a caring parent! I'm 23 now, and I have only recently come to terms with the fact that my stutter will never be cured. Sure, we all have our own tools to handle it, but once into adulthood it usually hangs around for life. For some reason, it took me this long to actually understand that we don't have stutters because we are doing something wrong. It isn't like finding a magic switch that will unlock our ability to speak. It is just how our brain is wired. I understand the want to be able to fix your child's struggles (I'd do the same if I was in your shoes), but honestly, it sounds like your son is doing REALLY well. The ultimate goal should be accepting life as a stutterer and not letting it limit you. It sounds like your son is doing great on that front. I found therapy as a kid had an opposite effect and made me fixate on things. It instilled the idea that I had to fix my stutter to be normal. Speech therapy only really seemed to have an effect on me when I decided for myself that I wanted to give it a shot in college. If your son wants to give therapy a try later on, that door is always open. I'd say maybe the best way you can help your son is to try not to worry (or at least show worry!). It seems a bit counterintuitive as one would think compassion would help, but in my experience it only really makes me feel more self-conscious and makes me stutter more! Ive been finding that the closer I come to fully accepting my stutter, the more confident I feel and more fluent I become.
