\>> My questions I guess: We don’t draw attention to it and let her speak. Is this right? We are going to a speech pathologist next month. My daughter has a very mild stutter, she inherited it from me since I stutter also. I knew since she started talking immediately that she had a stutter, she is also bilingual (Mandarin, English). I purposely didn't put her into speech therapy because I didn't want her to dwell/focus/draw attention to her stuttering and she was mild (also speech therapy didn't work for me since I am very mild also). My daughter is now 15yr and a typical teenager, her stutter continues to be very mild and mostly unnoticeable day-to-day. Here are my suggestions: 1. give her the time/space to talk 2. never point out her stutter or bring attention to stuttering being a "flaw" and reassure her that stuttering is okay that is helpful coming from family 3. research your speech therapists, a lot of bad apples out there, also be sure that the speech therapists' goals, methods, and objectives align with yours. Be on the lookout for people selling you a quick cure, there are no 100% cure that works for everyone. 4. Stuttering changes over time, it may get better over time or worst, or it may flair up at times. Some people learn to manage their stutter to the point of fluency.
