Here are signs that your child may benefit from a stuttering evaluation. If any of these sound familiar, trust your gut.
Your child repeats sounds or syllables (like "b-b-b-ball" or "mu-mu-mummy").
Your child gets stuck on words, with visible tension in their face or jaw.
Your child avoids talking, changes words mid-sentence, or seems embarrassed.
Stuttering has been present for more than 6 months or seems to be getting worse.

Research shows that starting stuttering therapy early gives your child the best chance for fluent, confident speech. Don't wait to see if it gets worse.
Many young kids go through a phase of normal disfluency between ages 2-5. But if your child repeats sounds or gets stuck on words regularly, shows tension or frustration, or has been stuttering for more than 6 months, it's a good idea to get a professional evaluation.
Some kids do outgrow stuttering on their own, especially if it started recently and there's no family history. But about 25% of children who stutter will continue into adulthood without help. An evaluation can tell you if your child is likely to outgrow it or if therapy would help.
Stuttering is not caused by nervousness or bad parenting. It's a brain-based speech condition that often runs in families. Many factors play a role, including genetics and how your child's brain coordinates speech. The important thing is that therapy can help, no matter what the cause.
