My 3 year olds stutter

2 replies

I have a son who is was 3 in August, he started with a little stutter just before (maybe end of July/ August ) starting preschool in Sept.

We are under the impression it is just because he gets excited and has too much to get out.
The preschool have said they are keeping an eye on it and will refer if they think it's necessary, they say he's quite ahead for his age so are not worried about at this stage.
It has reduced now he has broken up from preschool.

I read that you shouldn't finish the sentence, should smile and allow them to finish their word and not draw attention to it.

Has anyone else experienced this ?

Did following these recommendations help.

Any other advice or experiences of a stutter did they just outgrow

I am also considering consulting a speech therapist after this coming term as he starts school in Sept and would maybe like a little help before then, .??

Any advice or stories welcomed

Yes, consult a speech therapist and most would say some family speech therapy is advised at this age.

So it’s common as a developmental thing in boys. However get help early is the advise.

Also google singing and stuttering. There’s been some research around this
