Question About 2-Year-Old Who May Be Starting to Stutter

This is very short lived common in 2 yr olds they are starting to learn more say more other than repeating the same thing over and over they can talk in conversations tell stories short to longer sentences it's just their brain isn't able to spit out everything at once so they stumble it's like learning how to walk it takes practice and soon it'll be a thing of the past.However just to throw this out there if he is reversing losing anything that he has mastered like talking walking sitting playing whatever it is then yes I would be concerned.Just tell him to think what he has to say slow down.

From what I understand stuttering occurs around the age of 2. And by the age of 3 it's disappears

They become more aware that words have a certain place and order, so they often are thinking about word placement. Somethings it's just their mouth isn't able to keep up with all the exciting things they want to say.

You can help by letting them sort it on their own and not finishing their words for them. Giving them eye contact so they know you are engaged in what they are saying.

My son went through this and he's fine. He still gets stumbles on his words if he gets really excited.

Relax, this is very normal. Every kid goes thru this. They just get sooo excited about what they're trying to tell you, that their brains are working faster than their mouths can talk. I really think waaay too many parents over react w/ speech therapy. Every child learns at different pases and your kid is only 2.

Hi L., My brother stuttered when he was little (and still does sometimes at 19). The doctors told my mom that was normal (I was 15 when he was born so I remember it all pretty good). She was also told that sometimes this happens in really smart little kids (for some reason mostly boys), that it's like their brains are going faster than their mouths can go, so it's like a race with them trying to talk as fast as they are thinking. With my brother when he was little the more excited he was the more he would stutter. So we would tell him to stop, take a breath and slow down. And then the stuttering would stop, until he got to talking to fast again. I'd watch it and if it's still going on ask you doctor about it your next visit. But from what my mom was told most of them out grow the stuttering. good luck!
