I try hard not to stutter in front of my daughter, but I do. I don't know if she is copying me or not. I don't want my daughter to grow up like I did - with all the laughing and jokes people make. I don't know where to turn for help.
Most children go through a period of stuttering as they learn to talk - usually in the third year.
Their minds get ahead of their ability to produce what they want to say. Stuttering and stammering are normal symptoms at this age. But, because it has been such a painful issue for you, you may have over-reacted and reinforced this behavior in your daughter. If someone in the family reacts to it every time she stutters, she may not give up this symptom. It must be very hard for you to wait for her and not try to correct or help her.
