I always ask her to slow down and use all of her words. It feels completely normal for someone that's still building her vocabulary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694646 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:01:08 +0000 lamariniere 1694646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is also verbally advanced and just went through this a few months ago. It was also when he was really excited or I could see he was thinking about an idea and not quite sure how to get it all out at once. It lasted maybe 2-3 months and I haven't noticed it lately at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694613 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 23:41:35 +0000 owlmom 1694613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 2 and super verbal and occasionally stutters, too. It's always at the beginning of sentences when she's excited and trying to get lots of thoughts verbalized quickly. Our ped said it's normal and not to worry about it since she's not frustrated when she stutters, since she doesn't stutter mid-word or mid-sentence, and since her speech is great otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694596 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 23:07:36 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1694596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was also very verbal really early on, and went through a stuttering phase too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694547 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:10:13 +0000 luckypenny 1694547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: @autumnlove: phew!

She is now 5.5 and speaks very well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694463 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:23:27 +0000 chopsuey 1694463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: My DD was super verbal early on and went through a stuttering phase too. I think hers lasted a good month and she just stopped one day. </p> <p>When she stuttered, we would tell her to speak slowly, or we would say what she was trying to say slowly and tell her to repeat what we were saying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-stuttering#post-1694445 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:16:10 +0000 luckypenny 1694445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've recently noticed my 2 year old stuttering. It happens with certain words more than other and sometimes it seems like she has so much to say, or is so excited she can't seem to get it all out. She is extremely verbal - most people ask if she is 3 or 4 because of it (I also think her height contributes to that) so I don't know if that makes a difference. </p> <p>Is this a totally normal toddler thing or something I should ask my ped about? It's hard to tell because her other friends don't speak a lot so I don't have much to compare it to! </p>
