My DS has developed a stammer over the last 6 months or so. It is becoming more prominent. We haven't made an issue of it, given him time to speak and not commented. Just recently he told me he was worried because he had noticed it. It doesn't seem to be related to stress.
He had a stammer when he was a toddler - grew out of it after a year or so. Nothing since until the last year.
All info I can find is about stammering starting as a toddler. Can't find anything about it at this age.
Does any one have any experience ? How should be we deal with it ? I have told him it is nothing to worry about, that lots of people stutter sometimes, that it is a physical thing not being able to say the words as quickly as he is thinking them. I had assumed it was a temporary development thing again, but since it is worrying him now I was wondering if we need to try and get some help ?
