It's pretty bad, at times he gets stuck. I'm not to worried though, everything I read says it's a phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586186 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 10:13:51 +0000 ValentineMommy 2586186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely a phase. Our 3.5 year old was an early talker (sentences at 18 months). He never freaking stops talking. Right around 3 he started stuttering. At the time he was in speech therapy (for eating sensitivities) and I asked his therapist about it. She assured me it's a normal thing. They're thinking faster than their mouths can move.</p> <p>Now at 3.5 it's mostly stopped, but when he gets really excited and talking fast, it still sometimes happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586183 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 10:05:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 2586183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks all! yeah i figure its a phase, but it came on so quick and so pronounced it worried me,... almost overnight it started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586158 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 09:37:23 +0000 MrsF 2586158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD went through this. It was so hard to be patient and not fill in the words but I tried to just sit and listen and asked family members to do the same. The phase disappeared as quickly as it came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586139 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 09:20:34 +0000 yin 2586139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to my LO too. Still happens on occasion at 5, and I'm not too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586135 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 09:15:22 +0000 edelweiss 2586135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's fairly common! when LO1 did this, i would just wait patiently for him to get the words out. it lasted a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2586030 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 01:34:23 +0000 lamariniere 2586030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: This was exactly my son at that age. He would say "I, I, I, I, I.." or "Do, do, do, do, do" before getting the rest of the sentence out. Totally a case of brain firing faster than the mouth! He did this for maybe 6 months? I would gently tell him to think about what he wanted to say, and then it would come out just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2585968 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 21:09:17 +0000 iluvboba637 2585968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto what @AggieDaze: @littlebug: said about the brain processing too fast for their mouths esp when excited. I also remind ds to slow down. It happened quite a bit at early 3, but I haven't noticed it so much anymore at a 3 yrs 4 months. I, too, thinks it's just a phrase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2585953 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:55:24 +0000 Truth Bombs 2585953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old doesn't stutter but sometimes she'll say the first word of a sentence like 5 times in a row before she spits out the rest of the sentence. As said above I always assumed it's just because her brain is working faster than her mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2585932 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:21:17 +0000 littlebug 2585932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, D's been doing this, too, and our ped said the same thing as @AggieDaze: It especially happens when he's excited about something. I just try to remind him to slow down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2585927 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:19:02 +0000 AggieDaze 2585927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During our most recent well check, the pediatrician said stuttering is really common for 3 and 4 year olds because their brains are processing so much quicker (than I guess they can even keep up with). We've definitely noticed it with our 3 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/35-year-old-stuttering#post-2585910 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:03:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 2585910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 yo just started stuttering a lot in the past few days. Anyone else have this happen?</p> <p>He was a late taker and has been talking more and more and more, it's been great. Now all of a sudden a stutter out of the blue that is pretty noticeable. </p> <p>Guessing it's a phase, but should we do anything to help him along? We aren't rushing him along. Nothing's really changed except that he's finally mostly potty trained.</p> <p> A sentence he said 5 days ago normally is now being stuttered? So weird!! </p>
