What Do I Do If My Toddler Starts Stuttering?
As toddlers language skills rapidly expand, some may experience speech behaviors that are similar to those of people who stutter. Stuttering is a fluency disorder that affects an estimated three million Americans. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), approximately 95 percent of children who stutter begin to do so by the age of 4. Maybe you ve noticed your child repeating a word at the beginning of a question (for example, Can-can-can I have one? ), using um frequently, making painful faces while speaking, or stumbling over their words when they get excited. If your 3-year-old appears to be having difficulty getting their words out, how concerned should you be, and how can you help them express themself? POPSUGAR spoke to speech/language pathologist Rita Thurman, MS,CCC-BSC-FD, to better understand how to support a child who might be dealing with a stutter.
