My 4.4 yrs old princess is stuttering-help!

Hi, moms!

here's the story, a couple of days ago, I noticed that my ava is having difficulty saying the words bakit, she speaks fluently naman ng tagalog and english, like mum ba ba bakit?  stuttering sya,ewan ko ba kung anong nangyari, dati hindi naman ganito tapos biglang nahihirapan na sya. so ako naman, pinanasin ko ayun nahiya na sya ayaw na nya tuloy magsalita pag nag stutter sya, tinatakpan na nya yung mouth nya, I checked Google and found out that it's completely normal na ma a outgrow din nila yun like give them 6 months ang pag nag stutter pa din dun pa lang ask ng help from speech pathologists.

syempre gusto ko naman ng first hand stories kung meron ba kayong naranasan na ganito. please share your stories kung naranasan nyo to.  napapa paranoid ako ng sobra may colleague kasi ako guy sya pero grabe pag stutter nya, natatakot ako for my ava.


thanks fellow moms!

Sis my hubby used to stutter during his young days mga elem sya noon. At that time naman it's not common to go to speech path or devt specialist. So hinayaan lang. He told me na sa dami ng gusto nya sabihin o naiisip hindi nakakasabay yung mouth nya kaya nag stut sya. Hindi ko naman napapansin sa kanya yun for the past 10yrs that were together. Btw he is a cpa-lawyer.

For ur peace of mind sis, suggest ko to go to devt specialist so he/she can assess if you really need a speech path or mawawala din yan and nothing to worry...

I'm so worried talaga bigla bigla kasi, sabi ko don't be shy it's okay to make mistakes. her teacher even talked to me na very talkative si ava sa school.  saan ko ba sya ipapatingin sa pedia nya muna o sa developmental pedia o speech pathologist?  I really don't know what to do.  she's our only daughter, yaya lang lagi kasama sa bahay every weekdays, she loves to watch TV and play sa desktop.

Thanks sis!

Sis observe mo lang muna. And when she stutters when she talks to you, don't correct her. Hayaan mo lang magsalita. Kapag madalas yung stutter, tell her gently to take her time when she talks. Make her feel that it's not a big deal. My 5 year old stutters, too. Yung sa kanya naman, yung words ang nauulit, but this doesn't happen in every sentence. It usually happens when she's looking for the right words to say (which happens to me, too, at times ). Usually kasi at this age, normal pa yan e. Nagbu-build pa rin kasi sila ng vocabulary and sometimes the right words elude them. If medyo nag-aalala ka na, you can consult with a Dev Ped na rin.

^sis hindi din naman sya every sentence eh. usually yung words na bakit and ganyan, naprepresure din sya minsan and yes I don't correct her din nabasa ko sa google din na dapat ganun yung tipong hindi big deal.

nakikita ko din na ayaw na nya ituloy yung words pag nabubulol sya, sasabihin na lang nothing or whatever.  kasi naman nagta thumbsuck pa din sya until now and nami miss na daw nya si Ashley, friend nya sa school yun almost 2 weeks na di pumapasok.

thanks mga sis, observe ko na lang muna.
