Q:
Why has my son suddenly started stuttering?
My son will be three in September. He is very active and bright. Within the last two weeks he has began to stutter. I slow him down and have him to repeat the sentence and I can understand him better. I initially thought he was just trying to sound new words but then normal conversations began to be a challenge for him. I am gloing to speak with his pediatrician to see if she can refer me to a speech therapist. Any words of advice? It appeared overnite and my husband and I are now dumbfounded as to what may have happened to trigger it.
