stuttering.

Paige started stuttering this past week.

Now, I have heard there can be "developmental stuttering" that they basically will let their mouths catch up to their brains...

just wanted to know if anyone has experience with this --

she doesn't seem affected by it, but at times, it sounds quite bad and makes me sad to hear... (although I never act upset by it)

 

Re: stuttering.

  • I don't have any personal knowledge, but my younger cousin struggled with stuttering from pre-school through elementary school. My aunt had him working with a speech pathologist and he doesn't stutter anymore. See if it continues and maybe look into options to correct it. I just found this link by googling really quickly http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=111 and it says that if it happens before 3 1/2 children are more likely to outgrow it so for now, maybe you should just watch and observe.

  • How are you defining stuttering?  K is about the same age, give or take.  When she's trying to speak really fast or is excited, her words get broken and she repeats herself. 
  • could it be her mouth is not moving as fast as her thoughts?  i hope it is nothing and goes away quickly.

     

    sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
  • Ava has done this twice, and both times, I've spoken with three friends who are all speech pathologists and two even came to see her and engage her to evaluate her - all three said it is just a language explosion, ie - her brain is working way faster than her mouth. don't draw attention to it. don't finish her words. look at her and wait for her to finish. she's aware of it and it's frustrating so don't lay anything else on that for her.

     

    if it continues more than a few weeks at a time, call your pedi and discuss.
