Stuttering
Hi Darren,
Sharon just found a good website about stuttering, http://www.stutteringhelp.org. I ordered some materials from them which we can look at when we have time over Thanksgiving break. I wonder now if we should have worked harder on it when you were younger. But it seemed the harder we worked, the more self-conscious you got about it, which made it worse. It's tricky to work on self-improvement without falling into the trap of thinking there is something wrong.
One key is to remember that you're doing perfectly fine as long as you are on your path, that is, as long as you are headed in the right direction. You don't have to be at the end of your path already. You're perfect where you are, because you are exactly where you are supposed to be at the moment, in order to get where you are going in the long run. As long as you are always learning and growing, you are doing perfectly.
Love,
Mom
