Son developing a kind of alternate stutter.......

[Lorayn]

My son is three in december, and has been talking for quite a while. Just the last week or so though I have noticed he seems to be finding it hard to end his words. For example 'juice' becomes 'juice...ce...ce...ce...ce' 'bed' becomes 'bed..t...t..t..'
These aren't new words he has never said before, and it has only started recently, but he is starting to do it with more and more words every day.
DD never did this and I have no idea why Ds is, does anyone have any experience of this?

It's fairly common at this age. It happens when their vocabulary exceeds their ability to pronounce the words, so they tend to 'fall over their tongues' as it were. It's a case of the mind racing faster than the mouth.

I wouldn't worry. It was pass, and sooner rather than later, I'd have thought.

... sorry! It will pass

something fairly similar happened just before ds was 3 - although it was at the beginning of words. he got really frustrated and upset. i just used to encourage him, and hug him when he was having an especially hard time getting the word out (seemed to relax him?)and it went as quickly as it came....

speech therapist friend said v common at that age.....
