while on the kid subject...
has anyone as a parent, teacher, family member, etc dealt with the issue of stuttering?
keira (turned 3 in feb) has been doing it for a few months (pretty bad at times) i talked to her pedi...he said she would grow out of it, but i was still concerned. her daycare was also concerned and referred me to Elwynn for a multi disciplinary eval, which was fri. they said there is an issue with fluency and prolongation but not serious enough to treat yet.
it is very upsetting...they said to give it 6 months and if it is still occuring or worsens, to bring her back in. i feel 6 months is a long time and am worried it will get even worse.
just wondering if anyone had any experience with this...thanks for any info

Hi-
My nephew went thru the same thing...I think he was right around 3 as well. His was really bad at times...it would take him a while to get a word out, multiple stutters per sentence. We saw them at xmas and were shocked by it.
The doctors they saw (in Chicago) told them to ignore it. Don't try to correct him or anything and he will grow out of it. He still stutters occasssionally when he's very excited - but does not in day-to-day life (he's 4 1/2 now). The whole stuttering phase for him lasted about a year....
I know its upsetting - my SIL was really worried and upset but the dr's and school both said a lot of kids experience it and to let it ride its course and in the majority of cases it went away. Something about since it started randomly happening and it not being a problem he had from when he first started talking.
Sorry you're going thru this!! I'll ask my SIL if there were any resources she found helpful and will page you if i get an answer.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'll check with my SIL to see if she can recommend any resources. She is a speech teacher in Phila. It would upset me too.
Riley (my nephew) would get upset too. We just waited patiently for him to get the words out and then respond. I really think it lasted at the most 1 year. My younger nephew was about 5 mths old when it started and my SIL was concerned that the change of having a new baby in the house...going to "school"....and everything was just too much for Riley. He worked it out and really does only stutter on occassion when he's freaking out excited
