Stuttering and Your Child

Finding Help

?ÿby Lisa Scott-Trautman, Ph.D.

Q: How can you tell if your child has a stuttering problem?

A: If your child has been stuttering for only a few days or weeks, itƒ??s very alarming but it is probably best to wait to see how the stuttering changes. Waiting a month or two does not seem to affect how well your child will respond to later treatment and you might be surprised at how quickly the stuttering goes away.
