I adore my 3-yr-old and would never purposely do anything that would make fun of him or anything like that. That's not what this is about.
For months, my 3-year-old has called me "Daddy-ah-Momma" and my husband "Momma-ah-Daddy" (meaning he would start talking before thinking about who he's talking to). It was a correction.
All of a sudden, he stopped doing it. He no longer messes up and starts to call me "Daddy" and my husband "Momma". Instead, the very day he stopped doing that, he started stuttering. And I'm not talking about even your moderate case of stuttering. After trying to get one word out for several seconds, I started counting. I counted seventeen "Ca"'s to say "Can I have a drink?" (after I started counting, at least ten before that). He even stops to take in a long breath and keep going.
I think he's just doing it to be funny. Should we just ignore it, or should we try to get him to stop, based on our belief that it's not a true stuttering problem?
