OK here's an NMR. I really would appreciate if anyone could help me o=
ut on this one.
I've read, but have forgotten. What is the best way to deal with a pe=
rson (adult) who stutters badly? My next door neighbor in my apt. =
building occasionally really gets hung up on a word. The other day sh=
e had a pained look on her face and it was "ci-ci-ci-ci-ci-ci-ci-etc..." un=
til she finally got it out--"cigarette." (Talking about her daughter...)
I know you are not supposed to finish a word for them, and I don't. B=
ut do I just stand there while she struggles, or what?
I really feel for her when she does this, and she doesn't always stutter.=
I know it is stress-related, and she certainly qualifies, with her f=
amily situations...
Any input here would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much.
