I have recently noticed that my 2 1/2 year old has begun to stutter. It seems to take her a while to collect her thoughts and "spit it out". The pattern that I have noticed is that she'll repeat single syllable sounds, such as a "d", "m", or "g", or a short word - "my", "I". Now that I am acutely aware of it, she seems to be doing it quite often.
My first thought is that this is related to an intellectual "growth spurt", but could it be the beginning of a speech impediment? Maybe her mouth just can't keep up with her brain?!?!?!?
So, for those of you who have experienced this or something similar - is this a common problem that will go away on its own? Can stuttering begin this suddenly? Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance!
