He is almost 4(in Sept.) and started to talk really early , when he was two he was talking in full sentences. When he was about 2.5 he started to stutter and he still stutters now and then. He can go for weeks without a problem and then again stutters for a week or so. Does seem to have tension and struggle or facial muscles modifications .But when he stutters he repeats like that le le le le le let's go go play .Is that stuttering?

I am a 22 year old stutterer i could go a week or so without stuttering then it just starts up again there is no reason why it just comes and goes. there are different ways of stuttering i repeat words, other just block and can not get the word out. stuttering is exactly a struggle when the sound gets stucked in the vocal cords and the muscles in the mouth start to try to make the sound. i think is has all the symptoms of a stutter. i think you might want to chech it out my a speech therpist.
all the best

It would be best for you to ignore it until you get a diagnosis from a doctor or speech pathologist. It could damage his self-confidence and actually make him nervous and make him worse if you stress about it to him. Try not to show him that you notice it and try your hardest to understand him for now. Then you should talk with your pediatrician to set a referral to a speech pathologist to make a formal diagnosis. They will then tell you what to watch for and certain exercises to help.

"Stuttering may commonly occur in the normal language development of toddlers 3 - 4 years of age. It occurs because ideas come to mind faster than the child is able to express them. It more commonly occurs if the toddler is stressed or excited.
When the child is speaking, give your full, prompt attention, and do not comment on the stuttering. If the stuttering is accompanied with other signs, such as tics, grimacing, extreme self-consciousness, or if the stuttering persists longer than 6 months, consider having the child evaluated by speech pathologist."

Yes that is considerd stuttering. Don't worry. Sometimes children go through this for a while. When he starts to stutter tell him to slow down and take his time. Also don't help him along by answering for him. Be patient and wait until he says what he wants to. This will keep him from getting frustrated. He will grow out of it.
I have experience in preschool speech and this is what they recomended.

the two my teenagers studdered at this age. Their skill to verbalize sounds and the cost at which they're processing education are actually not an identical. they think of quicker than they are in a position to talk. whilst they alter into extra comfortable with extra complicated language and their vocal skills replace into extra subtle, this is going to probable end. in the event that they nevertheless studder whilst they start up Kindergarten, have them considered by way of the college's speech instructor. the main considerable undertaking is to ordinarily ignore approximately it. face up to the temptation to assist them alongside and say the be conscious they're scuffling with. It only attracts interest to it and that they alter into self-unsleeping approximately it. that can create an demanding issue for them and make it worse. What you're able to do is ask them to repeat, kindly. only say "what became that honey?" (no longer each and every of the time, yet particularly circumstances). i'm going to guess the 2d time by way of would be advantageous. you additionally can mirror communicate "are you able to take this?" so as that they hear the words spoken properly with out having interest extra to their speech. solid success!
