he stutters at times, not all the time he will go weeks without doing it and then here it is again, I have researched this to no end and have read that it's typical in boys ages 3-4 have any other parents experienced this? We have never brought it to our sons attention that he is stuttering, per the books, but should we?

No, his little mouth is working faster than his brain can keep up. Some children use a type of stutter to pause, so they can think of what to say next. It might be worse if he is tired or not feeling well. If he is still stuttering by pre school, then be concerned enough to have him evaluated by a speech pathologist. He probably just so excited that he has parents that actually listen to him, he can't control him self.

My middle son was stuttering and having pronunciation problems. A lot of these types of problems are typical for the age, but we had him checked by a speech pathologist and he was making more mistakes than he should have been making at his age. He went to sessions to help him and he got a lot better. Still has problems from time to time, but it is much, much better to get something like this checked out early and stop bad habits sooner the better. Later will be that much harder to stop and correct. Not impossible, but much harder and longer the later correction gets started.

When my nephew was younger he also stuttered once in awhile. Usually when he was excited about something, or in a hurry to tell you something "important." Under the direction of my sister, his mom, we used to gently remind him to slow down, and once in a while ask him to repeat something he had said. When he knew he had or was stuttering, he would slow down and it would not happen. Sometimes though he would become quite frustrated. We were all extremely encouraging, staying positive, & NOT making it sound like his stuttering was something bad. Consult your pediatrician. That is what they are for; to answer parenting concerns. If you are still concerned ask for an appointment with a speech therapist.

my son will be 3 in nov. and just yesterday he started repeating 3 times the last syllable of the last word in a sentence. i did not know that you should not point it out but since he was still doing it today i would ask him to just say the word and he would say oh, okay mom and wouldnt do it for a while but would start again a few mins. later. any suggestions? and i was going to say point it out but if they say not to i guess you should just let them do it. what all have you found out about stuttering? i am new at this.

Does he do it in certain mental states? I know I can stutter when I'm thinking deeply about something, since my mind changes faster than the words can come out of my mouth. I also have heard that stress can cause stuttering.
(I've also heard parents say their children will stutter when they're lying.)

A hobo, gown him in a pair of daddy's shorts, (they are going to be longer pants on a three twelve months previous) you could positioned his very own clothing under the shorts, get an previous shirt of pop's tuck it into the shorts and tie a piec of rope or previous headband around for a belt. locate an previous hat, does not count number what form the extra worn and beat up the better. in case you have eyebrow pencil make some markes on his face and then smudge those markes to look like "airborne dirt and dirt", along with his very own footwear in them positioned him in a pair of pop's boots upload a bandana with junk interior tied onto a stick and you have a hobo. you're able to try this to make him a clown to boot merely upload white make up paint particularly of the eyebrow pencil and brightly colored mis matched clothing. If he's sufficiently small you could extremely make him a ghost. Get a king sized pillow case, degree the place his eyes, nostril, mouth and palms are on the pillow case, shrink them out positioned a white long sleeved shirt (any form will do) a pair of white footwear pull the pillowcase over his head and you have a ghost. (no longer all that frightening)

If it's not constant, don't worry. I'm 27 and I still stutter at times. He has way too much to say and he can't get it all out fast enough. Let it pass, but if it gets worse, talk to the school system in you area or the family Dr.

NO. Don't go rushing round giving him a complex. It is often the case that at various stages the brain and body are not quite in synch. That is why teenagers (boys especially) can get very clumsy.
Unless it becomes a BIG BIG problem, just let it pass.
To Lunasite (hope the spelling is correct) Parents always know when their children are lying, they can see their lips move!!

No, do not bring it to his attention. He will probably outgrow it. Sometimes at that age they have so much they want to say, but it's hard to get all the words out. Talk to your pediatrician about it and if it does not go away, he'll probably refer to a speech therapist. I'm a mom who's been there. Just relax and don't worry, he'll be ok. God Bless.

I adopted a boy who did this for a bout two weeks, he was talking too fast, so just talk to him slowly and teach him to talk slower. My 4 year old doesnt do it any more.
