My 4 year old daughter occasionally stutters. Specifically, becoming stuck on one word eg " and and and " or " and then and then and then" It seems to happen in conversations where she is recalling the event or is making up an imaginative story like at bedtime. Should I be concerned? Or will she grow out of the stuttering? I don't correct her as I don't want her to feel self conscious. I pause before answering and use active listening skills. It doesn't always occur in her speech although I wondered if it was something to be concerned about?
Any suggestions?
