I have a little boy who is five years old. Recently I've noticed that after he speaks, he mouths the words over to himself. He doesn't say them again, but he simply mouths what he has just said silently. He hasn't noticed himself doing this, and I've not pointed it out. He doesn't do it with everything he says, but he does do it often, especially if he is excited or upset.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is? Is this abnormal, and if so, what does it mean?
Thank you for sincere answers, I appreciate the help.

I honestly don't know but it doesn't sound like anything abnormal. It sounds like he just finds it interesting that he can move his mouth and words come out and then do the same thing and nothing comes out. That's just an uneducated guess.Kids do all kinds of strange little things that amuse them. If you are seriously worried, talk to the pediatrician about it.

Hi, I don't know if it is abnormal, does he do any other quirky things like that, or is that it? My son is autistic, and he has repetitive behaviors, but he doesn't repeat what he said, he sometimes repeats back to me what I have said. I would just ask his pediatrician about it and go from there. It is probably nothing, but as I always say, it is better to be safe than sorry! Especially the way that autism is becoming an epidemic!!

A yeast illness could certainly rationale the Pap smear to prefer up on "irregular cells". This could more commonly be the rationale for the nurse "desiring to speak to you approximately the outcome". The nurse used to be without doubt now not very worried with how frightening it's to listen to that a Pap smear is irregular. Take a breath, its more commonly simplest the yeast illness inflicting the challenge. I had an irregular PAP in my first trimester, and it's nonetheless being adopted. As lengthy as you maintain up for your prenatal appointments, whatever irregular can also be adopted and dealt with as quickly as viable. After the yeast illness is dealt with, you're going to more commonly have got to have a comply with up experiment to ensure the yeast illness used to be the offender. Good good fortune!

My son did that. (I think the official medical term for that is echolalia -- but I've not double-checked -- so don't hold me to it.)
It could mean a lot of things, but several years down the road, after he stopped doing that, my son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (which is on the Autism spectrum).
I don't know if the two are tied in together or not, but you might want to mention it to his pediatrician.

Nothing to worry about, it's quite normal, my daughter used to do it at a similar age. They grow out of it.

i think it's just because he's excited or upset and he's trying to calm himself down or something, but you might want to take him to a doctor just in case.

I'd ask your pediatrician to rule out mild autism or something else.

Normal. He is training himself to not lose it.

Why not try consulting a psychologist.
