Check out the information from The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org as that is where several uncles and cousins who used to stutter (same thing as stammering) found help. There is a referral list for speech therapists who specialize in stuttering, information on what a parent can do to help at home, and more.

I stammered as a child. I still stammer as an adult. It is not something that goes away as you grow. Its something that does get better with practice however.
Your son is still very young and children have small mouths that make pronunciation harder then in adults. I would wait until he is of school age and then ask the school to have his speech problem evaluated by a speech therapist. Most school districts have programs which can be very helpful.
Speech impediments are also linked to learning disabilities and can impact a persons ability of read and spell as well. It can be quite embarrassing.
Speech impediments are important and need to be addressed.

Well my speech got alot better when I started playing the guitar and singing. It has gotten alot clearer now because singing so much really showed me what my voice sounded like and helped me improve. But I suspect age has something to do with it also. Enroll your son in speech therapy they most likely have a free one at school. I went to one when I was younger and it really helped me.

it is not always true but a speech pathologist can make that determination for you.
as parents, we owe it to our children to seek professional help whenever a problem such as this appears instead, of relying upon the advice of those who don't REALLY know.
always, always follow YOUR instincts. even if what you have heard is correct, the price of an appointment is small in comparison to the benefits your son may stand to gain.
