As stuttering develops it becomes very complex. These children often develop disfluent coping behaviors that become integrated into their speaking pattern. A general principle for any therapy program is to have as many family members involved in the ongoing therapy process as is possible. How this direct involvement by family members occurs during the therapy will be developed by the therapist. However, at all times, when the caregivers need information or they could benefit from the observation of the child's therapy the therapist should be most eager to accommodate those requests.
Behavioral spontaneity is to be preserved and enhanced.
The less little kids have to think about how to perform and speak the better. As caregivers, we must be careful not to stifle the child's spontaneity. The self-esteem of the child should be measured and enhanced. Good physical, mental, social, educational, and competitive health are vital ingredients in the child's self-esteem. Some children who struggle with their speech need to be taught different coping strategies from the ones they developed to stop stuttering.
