What is the reason why my baby suddenly stutters when speaking?

Under normal circumstances, children will start learning to speak when they are about two years old. When they first start speaking, it will be very difficult for them to do so, for example, they may stutter. This is because children know very little language at this time and their organizational skills are very poor, so stuttering is a very normal phenomenon. Therefore, here we remind parents that when children are learning to speak, parents must be patient and listen to their children. If the child stutters, parents must not be impatient or scold them. Instead, parents must use a very gentle attitude to teach their children to develop good speaking habits. This is very important. However, if the child still stutters frequently after the stage of learning to speak, it may be abnormal. What is the reason behind it?

First, why does the child suddenly stutter when speaking?

The two-year-old girl suddenly started to stutter. The word at the beginning of each sentence should be repeated several times. It's obvious that speaking seems to be difficult, and I can understand your feelings. Maybe the child has been nervous recently. It is recommended to let the child speak slowly.

Second, during the peak period of learning to speak, babies over 2 years old may sometimes repeat sounds and interrupt sentences.

This is a natural phenomenon in a child's development process, generally known as "temporary stuttering." As the baby matures, most of the time it can be corrected naturally. However, parents should pay attention to eliminating factors in the surrounding environment that may cause stuttering and help their baby correct stuttering.
