#asktheexpert my son started speaking after 1 year. he is about to 3 years this April and now he is talking and making conversation well but sometimes he is having stammering....what should I do?

A. It is not uncommon for young children to have disfluencies in their speech (e.g., word or phrase repetitions). In fact, about 5% of all children are likely to be disfluent at some point in their development, usually between ages 2 ½ and 5.
