It happens: Many normal kids will go through a transient period of stammering at this age. It usually fades within a few months. It corresponds to emerging self awareness & fears of being different. It helps if adults do not point out the problem & try to finish his sentences. A consultation with a speech & language pathologist may help people understand the process.
