A member asked:
My 2 yrs old used to be pretty fluent in his speech, but recently he has been stuttering badly. why is it so? any way to stop him from stuttering?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Transient (months) stuttering is very common in early speech development and generally disappears over several months. It is more worrisome in the 4 year old who was fluent before beginning to stutter. Be patient as he speaks and allow him time to converse without drawing attention to the issue.
