Hi all. Posting here for traffic as I’m worried and would love some advice.
Ds1 is 2.5 and in the last month has started stuttering. It’s quite a lot I would say and happens at the start of a sentence maybe every 4/5 sentences. In the last few days, he has also started putting his hand over his mouth whilst he does it. Sometimes it takes a good 5-8 seconds for him to get his word out but he still tries it. Sometimes he changes what he trying to say also. It doesn’t seem to bother him and he isn’t getting frustrated, but I think he’s started to notice he’s doing it. I’ve read a bit online about not telling them to slow down etc., speaking slowly, repeating back their sentence when they do it.
Has anybody else experienced this? Did it stop by itself or did you end up seeing a speech therapist? What did you do to help your dc? How long did it last?
I’m starting to really worry now (obviously hiding this from ds) and don’t know what to do.
