Stuttering
My toddler has just started stuttering. His speech is generally really good, and he talks loads but now he seems to struggle with his brain and words working at the same speed.
Is this a normal phase or something I need to worry about? Any advice on helping him?

I get mine to pause, think about what they want to say and then start again. My son still does it sometimes and he's 5, but it's a phase my eldest 2 both had.
Mine stuttered for like a week then just never did it again. That was about 3/4 months ago
Yes my son does exactly the same. Some days are worse than others and I find it’s when he’s excited or really wants to say something. I mentioned it to health visitor and she said it’s normal but has referred us to speech therapy to make sure it doesn’t become a problem x

Slow down speaking to him. My kid tongue tied I just slow my sentences and break the words down to him. Consistently. He’s improving a lot.
