Why would two year old suddenly start stuttering for a few days and then it is gone?
Question:
Answers:
That happened to my son when he was almost 3 yrs old,it stuck around for about a month though. His was pretty bad,he could barely get out a sentance and when he'd get stuck he would just start the whole sentance over again. Kids can go through that at that age, a lot of the time the kids brain is thinking and processing information on things she wants to say but she cant get the words out fast enough.My sons pediatrician said to worry if it lasts more than a couple weeks and he actually had an appointment with a speech therapist for them to observe him when he suddenly stopped doing it. But it's a good thing your granddaughter stopped after such a short period of time. My pediatrician sent me information on stuttering in the mail when my son first started doing it,a lot of it made sense when I thought about it.of course I cant find any of it right now. Her mom can call her doctor and ask for some info too if you still want to know more.. i think his doc just got it online.Important thing that his doc told me NOT to do,just in case your granddaughter starts doing it again.. Do not make her repeat herself if you cant understand what was said,don't interrupt her when she is stuttering or trying to help her say her words,act like you cant tell that there is something wrong.look and respond to her just like you normally would.she knows she's having trouble and it can just make her frustrated and not try at all.
