Toddler Stuttering Hello! My daughter just turned 4 and started preschool last month. Over the past week or so, we have noticed that she is starting to stutter/stammer when speaking. For example, she will say “w-w-w-w-w-w-what’s that noise?” Or “mommy mommy mommy can we go go go to the park? It almost feels like she is trying to get her thoughts out so fast that she can’t keep up. Sometimes she will say the first word of the sentence 15+ times trying to get her thoughts out. I’ve read a lot about developmental stuttering and that it can take up to 6 months to go away. It’s just alarming because it literally started overnight. When she is saying “why why why why why why why” she will stop and say “I don’t know. I have too many words” 😪 her pediatrician said she wasn’t really concerned about it at this point but it’s really hard to watch her struggle
