Is stuttering at a young age normal?

It is common for children to sometimes stutter around the age of three. At this stage, they develop their language skills at lightning speed, sometimes leading to temporary slurred speech. This type of stuttering is often considered a normal part of language development and usually disappears on its own over time.

When is it wise to consult a speech therapist?

Although stuttering often disappears on its own at a young age, it is important to monitor the situation closely. If stuttering persists, worsens, or if your child experiences visible tension while speaking, it may be helpful to consult a speech therapist. A speech therapist can assess your child’s speech development and, if necessary, provide guidance to improve speech and support your child’s confidence.
