Don't make an issue of it, just ask him to speak slower. He is probably exited and is trying to get his words out faster than he can.

He may just be lacking in confidence. 3 is a sticky age when they suddenly realise a whole lot of new things around them and making sense of it all can be disconcerting. Make sure he feels secure and if you are concerned then don't hesitate to get professional advice, even if you strart with a visit to the local Health Nurse. This might be initilly less scary than the doctor.
Are you in Britain? He should be due a check up any way. This is when my son's eye problem was detected. The nurse will be able to give you good information. And if it can be brought up in a situation where he is aware he is going for a check up for everything anyway, then he might be more relaxed knowing he's not being taken especially for his speech.
My middle son started having so much to say he still starts and stops several times before he gets it out. Just trying to process the info as fast as he wants to say it is not always a smooth relationship.So long as you can be patient with him and let him try to finish what he is saying then it will hopefully be a passing phase.

look for a Speech therapist. They can advise you and can make special program for your son. Mostly stammering problems are get better with age. 95% of them go away by the age of 6 or 7. So, it's not that bad. but still look for a speech therapist.

both my kids started to stammer quite bad around the age of three, i think my kids were trying to say what they wanted too quickly , i used to get them to stop, breath a second then start again but talk slower both grew out of it by the time they were four, if your really worried go see your Dr or health visitor they will be able help
good luck

Please dont worry - the same happened to my daughter when she turned 3 (she is nearly 4 now) she would say a sentence like - "I I I - I want to do that" she would repeat a word over and over till she got the sentence out - to me it was like her mind was moving at a faster rate than what her mouth could say and it caused this problem - I looked it up on the net and found it was common and usually only lasts a few months - and after 3 months or so it just stopped - dont worry from what I can tell it is common :)

ok first each and every toddler has heard of the human centipede one of those great number of say that they have watched it even as they were given freaked via the trailer. that is not any longer perfect for a baby of 10 that is an 18 for a reason. And it ought to impact your toddler's psychological well-being state and progression more effective than you need to imagine. i does no longer recommend each person watch it no longer to point a 10 year previous

I wouldn't worry too much about it now, at three he's still learning to talk and say his words. When he's about 5 and still stammering, then maybe get him a speech therapist, we did that for my kid brother, he saw her for a couple of years and now he talks just fine.

I have a 4 year old with the same problem and his doctor said that he will eventually grow out of it.

Pefectly normal.The nuerons in his developing brain are making connections which he cannot always match with words. When he says something or asks a question say something like "You are telling me that.........."whatever it was but say it very very slowly.This will assist him in his speechAnother useful touch is to sing nursery rhymns with him again slowly slowly. He might even stutter until he's ten but it will stop .whatever you do don't let him see you are anxious.
