This is actually a normal developmental occurrence in this age group. The causes of stuttering vary. We notice stuttering or dysfluencies easily in young children. They repeat sounds, words, phrases or short sentences, they sound out of breath when talking and they do not even notice they are doing it. The way in which we as the adults in their lives react to their stuttering and the way we handle the situations when they arise are extremely important.
Children are very receptive individuals.
They can tell how you feel about something before you even tell them anything. The key to keeping stuttering just a normal developmental phase a child passes through is by not reacting to it at all. Give the child as much time as they need to say what they want to say. Give them your undivided attention when they are speaking. Don t interrupt them as they speak or finish sentences for them.
