To the therapist...
This book is written especially for children who have emotional reactions to stuttering. This may be manifested by struggle or avoidance behavior or by overt expression of negative feelings and thoughts in connection with talking. It is often difficult to assess a child's real feelings and thoughts, so observing behaviors such as struggle and avoidance may help you understand how they really feel about their speech.
