My 2 yr old now stutters, what can i do to control it and will it ever go away?

When i was little i use to stutter too, after 3 years it went away. Her father still struggles with stuttering. Does that mean there is a chance it will never go away? Is there even something her father can do to stop stuttering? I know what it is like to stutter and I know how cruel some people can be. I just dont want her to go through the same thing.My 2 yr old now stutters, what can i do to control it and will it ever go away?
Your best place to go for advice and information about stuttering is The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org. They have free online videos, information for parents of things they should do at home to help, how to decide if/when your child should see a speech therapist who specializes in stuttering, how to choose a therapist, referrals for specialists in all states, books that area available at public libraries, and more.My 2 yr old now stutters, what can i do to control it and will it ever go away?
Almost all of my kids stuttered when they were that age. Someone once told me that their minds are working faster than they can talk. Soon everything caught up and the problem stopped. I wouldn't worry about it right now.
Check w/your school district (even now) about an evaluation and possible assistance.
You might want to consider taking your kid to a speech therapist. My parents did that for me when I was little, and things turned out pretty well.





In my case, I was trying to talk as fast as I think, and the job of the speech therapist was to convince me to slow down. You didn't mention what your own child's problem is, but a speech therapist may be able to help.





Good luck.
Try taking your child to a speech theripist. Working with them right as it starts it may correct itself or, just help to improve it.
take your child to a speech pathologist....they should be able to help i think....thats what my aunt does and she talks about how she gets stuttering patients all the time
