7 year old daughter stuttering for 4 years

7 year old daughter stuttering for 4 years Hi all! This is my first time posting in this group and I am hoping some of you might be able to offer some guidance or share your experiences. I am the parent of an almost 7 year old girl who stutters. I would say it is mild, as have previous speech therapists she's worked with. We first noticed her stutter when she was about 3, so it has been going on for a number of years. There are periods where things seem to improve for awhile but it never fully goes away. There are other periods where it seems more prominent, which is kind of where we are right now. When she was quite young (ages 3-5), her stutter presented as her repeating the first sounds of words. Now, at almost 7, we haven't noticed repeated sounds in awhile...instead, she now "blocks" sometimes when starting a sentence. Her lips and tongue move but she isn't saying anything, not even any sounds. She doesn't seem to be forcing or trying to push the words, her body is actually fairly relaxed...but her lips move and she isn't talking, if that makes sense. She has never had prolongation, has never repeated full words over and over, and doesn't have any facial tics or grimacing when speaking (aside from the moving lips). She is aware of her "bumpy" speech but she isn't bothered by it most of the time. Nobody in our family stutters, on either side. My husband is a fast talker and he had a lisp as a child, but never a stutter (he doesn't have a lisp any longer either). I guess I am just not sure how to support her, and I am not sure that speech therapists have been particularly helpful thus far. A speech therapist she worked with last year said that it appeared that my daughter's thoughts and ideas were outpacing her physical growth, and she felt that as she got older and continue to mature, the growth would catch up and would help the speech become smoother. A different speech therapist she worked with earlier this year (we moved, so we found a new speech therapist) said that she didn't think it was really so much of a stutter but rather an issue of not taking full breaths...she thinks my daughter is trying to push out all of her words quickly without actually breathing fully. I am not sure that either of these theories are correct, and I just want to offer the best support I possibly can for my daughter. She is the absolute sweetest kid and she has an amazing vocabulary- she always has, even from a young age- and I feel worried for how she will perceive herself if this continues into adolescence. My husband and I do not want to be those parents who bury their head in the sand, but we also do not want to put pressure on something that maybe needs a lighter hand. I also worry about it getting worse if we do nothing. Any advice out there? As she has stuttered for 4 years already, is there any hope that she may outgrow it? What can I do to help her? I have been wondering lately if she may have a very mild form of adhd...while she is great in a school environment and can focus on school related tasks the same as any child, she is incredibly fidgety when speaking and always seems to be in a hurry to move from one thing to another. She loses her belongings all the time, often because she has already moved on to something else before making sure she has all of her stuff. While I know all kids have a little of this, my husband and I have observed it more with her. She has also gone through many big changes over the past several years. In the time since she was born, we've lived in 3 different countries, 4 different houses, a new sibling when she was 5, 3 new schools, etc. While many of these changes have been outside our control, I wonder if they have affected her more deeply than we realized. Outwardly, she has rolled with every change so well, but I worry that she is harboring some real anxiety. As you can tell, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this! I just want to be the best I can be for her and give her the smoothest path I possibly can. If any of you have any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it\`!
