Today my 2 yr old daughter has started stuttering totally out of the blue. I've never noticed her doing it before but today she's been doing it a lot especially when she's saying "going". Has anyone else had a child who does this? As it's just started I'm thinking maybe she's trying to say too many words at once? She's saying 6+ word sentences and speaks really well apart from this. Any ideas / advice?

My daughter stuttered until she started school. When he started we were reffered to a speech pathologist. He said that the worst thing you can do is interrupt the child in the middle of their sentence because their brain then has to start over.
He told me and my husband to practice sentences with her. Just have her repeat what you say and speak slowly so she can understand the words and repeat them correctly.

I am not sure if this is normal, but it is nothing to worry about at this moment. Your daughter is still very young. Just take the time out each day just 5 or 10 minutes to work with her on this. Maybe get pictures of things that start with the letter w. The more you practice with her, the faster she will get used to saying words without stuttering.

My daughter is 3 years old and goes through stages of stuttering as they just have to much to say at once especially when they are advanced with talking! One day my daughter will be fine then the next she will stutter then nothing for weeks/months, it is perfectly normal.

My son at that age started stuttering also. His started out just happening on one -two words but got worse to the point where no matter what he said he stuttered. I noticed that when he would try to get his thoughts all together and trying to get a point across it was like he couldn't get them all in a line in his head and couldn't get them to come out of his mouth the way he wanted.
It did go away with time. Just make sure that you let her take her time, and encourage her to take her time with her words.
By the time my son was 3 and even during that period he got better and better getting out what he wanted till he didn't stutter at all.
Good luck!

Your best source for information is The Stuttering Foundation of America. They have tips for things you can do at home to help, a chart that shows when it is normal language development and when it is something you should have addressed by a specialist in stuttering, referrals to specialists in your area, books, online videos, etc.

hiya babe,,
my four year old gets right flustered when she knows what she want to say but can't get the words out right
what we do is repeat to her what she has said
but tell her to slow down and think of what she wants to say
she then calms down enough to get it in to head the way she wants to say it,,
as for the stuttering,,, just tell to slow down and think about it,,
works with Rebbecca ( my daughter)

Just tell her to take her time.
I have a 6yr that stutters and he does it when he's excited about something or has so much in his mind to say that it gets caught so I just tell him to take his time and slow down.

there are a lot of words going through her head and she is struggling to get them all out at once.
just be patient and ask her to slow down

My nephew gets this problem from time to time, its usually when hes excited about something and wants to tell you. We tell him to slow down and think about what he wants to tell you and it usually works.
