My daughter just started to stutter some of her words recently. Should I worry? She has always been a plain talker and says sentences.

My son started this same thing at about two. He's vocabulary was already HUGE at that point and he was speaking in sentences and out of nowhere he started stuttering. Sometimes we couldn't even figure out what he was trying to say at all. The doctor said to give him 6 months to see if it would go away on it's own. When he started talking to us, we would stop what we were doing and we let him know that he had our full attention. We never rushed him to finish or showed frustration. After about a month, it was completely gone. Now he's back to his talkative self, he's verbally miles ahead of some of his sister's 5 year old friends even.

I wouldn't WORRY about it. My oldest son talked very clearly until he was about that age, then started stuttering. The doctor told me that he would outgrow it, his mind was working faster then he could express himself. My son is now 9 and hasn't outgrown it yet. If your daughter doesn't happen to outgrow it, they have amazing speech therapists now, they work with my son right at his school and it does wonders for him. He still stutters but it is not as bad as it was before he started therapy. Sometimes when he's excited he stutters real bad still, but you will love her the same. I wouldn't worry about it, just don't correct her or "get on her" about it because they told me it can make it worse if you do that. I guess it makes them self-conscious and they will do it even more because they are trying not to.

nicely it is not a "habit". they don't do it on objective. it extremely is common for babies AND adults to stutter whilst they're excited or overrated. (my dad stutters each and all the time whilst he's attempting to describe some thing. He in fact tries to chat too quickly. lol) you may not quite do something approximately it. She'll probably strengthen out of it, or in step with probability she will have the skill to not. you ought to basically difficulty whilst it extremely is going to become consistent (previous exhilaration.) I stuttered each and all the time whilst i became that age too. My mom and that i merely had a communication approximately it because of the fact my 17 month previous on occasion stutters whilst he's crying or quite excited approximately some thing. The whining is habit tho; And for so you might ask her to repeat her request without whining it to you. ; ) however the stutter isn't on objective.

I wouldn't worry about it. My daughter is 20 months and sometimes says words 3-4 times before she actually gets them out.
I think it is part of the learning process, they are trying to put more words together, but still want to get their point across quickly!
If you think it is still a problem at her next check-up, mention it to your doctor.

I think it means her brain is working faster than her mouth.
Don't make too big a deal about it but help her to slow down a bit and always be super loving. This too shall pass. She's only two which is the very beginning of language
