Son Started Stuttering Just Before Baby Came

There are number of people whose son may start stuttering before coming of their baby, they usually feel that it is because of the new born baby. The first question to them is how frequently their child stutters?

The INS and outs of stuttering or few things about stuttering

It has been found in a research that hardly five to six percent of children suffer from this problem of stuttering. Though it is a very small percentage, but the percentage does not matter or hardly matters when this problem attacks your child. Nowadays the parents have become so aware that when their child’s speaking skills develop they really consider that if their child is stuttering or not.

Before anyone of you diagnose that your little child is with stuttering problem, try to pay attention on the way he or she speaks. Does repetition of one particular word happens when your toddler speaks any sentence or phrase, for instance if he or she speaks like this "I…I…I am eager?" it so then this is not really stuttering.

Basically the problem of stuttering revolves around only one fact that the toddler or child has not learned the art of constructing the sentences verbally in smooth and linked manner.

Typically the problem of stuttering is the blocking of words. Your toddler might be able to speak the first sound of the word, but he or she could not complete the word. This way the children get frustrated and try to force the word out from their tongue. If you find these symptoms in your child then it’s really very important to consult voice therapist. What is the reason behind stuttering in small children or toddlers?

Our son has started or shown stuttering problem before baby came

“Our son has started or shown stuttering problem before baby came" is the line which is said by number of parents who really feel concerned. The other question they ask is “Any change in situation or change in life of the child can predispose him to stuttering”? We feel that asking this question is genuine because so far no researcher or doctor has disclosed the reason or cause of stuttering.

What people think is that if any child stutters he or she does that for the variety of combinations and sounds. Birth of another baby, a shift or move from one house to another, a miss happening like death of someone in the family, divorce of parents, and many other changes in the living atmosphere leads to increased stress even in the children also. Does this lift up the possibility of stuttering? The answer is probably not, unless and until the other factors are involved, like the development of language, physical problems of child, or number of home influences like how their parents communicates with them and pronounce the words.

Making statements like "Our son has started or shown stuttering problem before baby came" is basically said to be off base by the doctors though they haven’t provided any reason for stuttering yet. However, the stress also causes lots of problems one cannot neglect the problem of stuttering in his or her child.
