Hes 11, hes probably scared as shit how it will impact him later on. I know i was. If you follow this sub you should know that there a very successful people here and its possible to manage the stutter * where it does not effect daily activity. Have you ever tried forcing someone to do something they dont want to do? Are you married? Try it on your spouse and get back to me. Its not a realistic approach IMO. *edit: and i dont necessarily mean fluency. I am quite disfluent but stuttering no longer holds me back in my life. There are iother ways to cope with stuttering aside from fluency training.
