[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474136, member: 12886"] Young children, especially when in phases when their language is really growing often have a developmental "stutter". It can look just like any other long term stutter. Some even develop secondary characteristics (like eye blinking, head shaking etc. to try to get rid of it, if you see these secondary things do for sure get help so you can avoid his getting more of these). It is a conflict with rate of growth in language and the minute intricate motor skills needed for speech expression. It usually does come and go away by itself and treatment is typically to just be very patient and intent when listening so pressure is reduced. But not to mention it or specifically say slow down, relax, ask them to start over, or anything like that which could accidentially call attention to it and increase the frequency. (Obviously we can't see him and dont have a full developmental history or family background so, it is great to have someone check it out to make sure whether it is developmental or not, hard to tell though...but since you have other issues worth a check and you can get advice on how to handle it). My 2 cents worth, smile! [/QUOTE]
