2 Yr Old Stuttering

This is normal many times. I have had many kids stutter around this age in my daycare--their vocabulary is really expanding at this point. They talk just fine now at age 4 or 5. I would take the doc's advice at this point and not interrupt her and encourage her to take her time, slow down, and get the words out. Be patient. If you notice other signs that he mentioned or it doesn't improve in six months I would consider a referral to a speech therapist just to have her evaluated. It won't hurt her, and if there is a real problem then you can intervene early. This most likely is very normal though, try and not worry too much. Best to you!

Our DS started that around 2.5 yrs as well.... about 2 months later he has almost completely outgrown it. He only does it occasionally (and much less severe) when he is really excited and his brain is going faster than his mouth.
All we ever did was say... slow down. He would then stop, slow down, and not stutter. He knew what he was doing and when he realized that all he had to do was think first and slow down, it got better.
be patient, I am sure it is just a phase.

My son did this too at around that age. I was so surprised because he began speaking at 15 months and had a pretty good grasp of language.

After really observing him every time this happened I realized that he was accumulating language pretty quickly and his mouth simply couldn't keep up with his brain. 8) If that makes sense.

If I really saw him struggling I would patiently take his hands and gently tell him to slow down. I don't know if that worked or not, but the stuttering didn't last too long. Only a couple of months or so.

I had a few friends experience similar situations as well. I would just be patient with her and let her see that you are willing to wait for her to finish her thoughts. Her mouth will catch up eventually. 8)

Peace.

It's true, this is normal for some kids. My nephew had this at the same age. At first my sister was worried but now 6 months later it's gone. Best advice that she said was to just be patient and ignore it. Try NOT to have any reaction to it by making a face or telling her slow down you can do it etc, even though it sounds like its encouraging and reassuring comments, any comments at all would just make him more aware of it and he would get upset and or nervous and it would be worse. Just keep smiling and listening. I think what's going on is basically you said she was a good talker, same as my nephew, so that might have something to do with it. It seems to me at a certain point her inner dialog and vocabulary has developed faster than her little brain will let her say the words out loud, that's all.

If she is still stuttering, or if it returns, get help through The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org.

Very normal at this age, your pediatrician should have told you, her brain is going faster than her mouth can keep up. Its very important you dont put a lot of attention on it or it could become a problem
