My almost-3-year-old recently started to studder when she speaks. Why do children studder?
Answers:
Many young kids go through a stage between the ages of 2 and 5 when they stutter, repeating certain syllables, words or phrases, prolonging them, or stopping, making no sound for certain sounds and syllables. Stuttering is a form of dysfluency - an interruption in the flow of speech.
Could be something wrong with his brain, or it could simply be that his thoughts are running much faster than his mouth can get them out. I'd advise not worrying too much about it; he's still developing at a very rapid pace, and the problem could disappear just as suddenly.
