Stuttering behaviour is most common around the age of 2-3, but is best seen to right away. Stutters can be hereditary, or they can just appear seemingly random.
Stuttering can look like:
• Repetitions of sounds or whole words e.g. “a-a-a-animals”, “My my my my dinosaur” or “I want I want I want another turn”
• Getting “stuck” on a sound, either by freezing without any noise or stretching that sound out e.g.” mmmmmmmmmum!”
• Other involuntary movements e.g. excessive blinking or shrugging
