2.8yr old with stammer

[Nemo1977]

me again...about ds again...he is 2.8yrs only really started talking about 6/7mths ago and seems to have developed some sort of reverse stammer. So when he finishes a sentence he will continue the last letter a few times. Cant work out if it is behavioural or something else.

My DS who's 2.8 too has developed a stammer at moment. I think it's normal at this age. I think the important thing to not draw any attention to it.

Mine has been quite into his talking and has always been a bit ahead with vocab(this is not bragging just to get him in context!)

i could be talking (or typing) complete rubbish, but i inhaled a lot of child behaviour books in my life(was addicted to reading Dr Spock as a kid-know i'm a freak!) and while pg.

my theory is that their mouths can't keep up with their active minds and they get tongue tied. Does it happen all the time or especially when he's excited about something?

spinamum it is about 95% of the time it happens but sometimes seems like an after thought. IT is hard to explain so will try an example.

If he says a sentence like mummy look out the window...the word window will go on like dow dow dow for 3 or 4 times after.
or even replying yes is yes s s s s s s

DS repeats whole words, especially if "in a rush" to tell me something.

If you're worried,give your HV or GP a call.

I'm keeping an eye on it at moment.He's got a lot on at moment. Chicken pox, potty training,house slowly becoming building site and he's about to find out he's going to be someone's big brother, so his life isn't boring at moment! Once life had settled down if stammering continues, I'll have a chat with HV about it.
