I do understand what you were saying and you don’t sound rude at all. You’re good 👍🏼. I was mainly just attempting to expand your statement to include more context from a professional standpoint. Like yes, there is a good chance that a kid under the age of 5 who stutters will stop by age 6, BUT that does not mean the stuttering is typical or normal. The portion of the population that stutters is generally shown in the research that only be somewhere between 0.5% to 5% of children that ever stutter enough for it to be noticeable. When I said that “some stuttering is always normal” what I meant was that everyone has an occasional “stutter” event, but not everyone has those events often enough to make a pattern. In other words: Everyone “stutters” sometimes, but VERY FEW people do it often enough to call it “stuttering”. So you definitely weren’t rude, but (and I hope this correction is not making you feel called out, but rather invited to update your knowledge on this particular claim) you were also not correct. It’s incorrect to say it’s generally normal for kids to stutter and saying it in a public forum dedicated to stuttering discussion could potentially cause harm by leading parents and/or teachers to assume that it’s okay to withhold support from a kid who is noticeably struggling to speak because they read somewhere that it’s normal to stutter at this age. You can be more correct by saying instead that kids between 2-3 who stutter are slightly more likely to stop by the time they turn 5, but that it’s never a bad idea to get or offer support, since there are lots of factors that get a vote on whether a kid will stop stuttering or eventually need support anyway, and there’s no evidence that providing support causes any harm.

It’s a critical review of all the existing evidence both for and against providing therapy before the age of 5, with the things we know so far about stuttering well-represented and discussion by the authors of their own conclusions following their in-depth study of the evidence.)
