Hesitation / stammer?

[Crocodileclip]

My DS will be 5 in September. He is a very chatty little boy with a very good vocabulary. However, over the last month or so. I have noticed almost every sentence starts with uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. There can be up to seven or eight 'uhs' before he actually starts the sentence.
My initial thoughts are that he starts speaking withour knowing what he is going to say and the 'uhs' are fillers whilst his brain catches up. Nursery have noticed it too and mentioned it to me last week as something to keep an eye on.
Has anyone else experienced this and did it rectify itself or have you any tactics to try and reduce it. He doesn't seem to notice he is doing it and telling him to think about what he wants to say before he starts talking hasn't been working.

If it develops (if) seek help. I'm 33 and have a stammer. Mine never got seen by a professional . It's held me back confidence wise. The speach therapy is so much better these days . Is anything worrying him?? It can often cause a temporary stammer??

Also try not to make a big deal of it for the time being. It may pass of its own accord x

My 5 yr old son seemed to do that for a while, maybe 6 months ago. He would say mum and when I said what, he would say mm, mm, mm, mm, mm and then say something. Like you I think he hadn't really decided what he wanted to say and needed time to think about it. It never came to anything and I dint notice it much now.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep a good eye on it as there is a lot going on in his life at the moment and although he seems to be coping well I suppose the hesitations could be a sign of anxiety. I am due to have DC2 next month and we are house hunting at the same time. In addition he will be starting primary school in September. Thats probably more than enough for a four year old to deal with at once.
