Causes of stuttering in children. We donât really know why stuttering happens. It might be because thereâs an error or delay in the message that a childâs brain sends to the muscles of her mouth when she needs to speak. This error or delay makes it hard for the child to coordinate her mouth muscles when sheâs talking, which results in stuttering.
In general, speaking before a group or talking on the telephone may make a personâs stuttering more severe, while singing, reading, or speaking in unison may temporarily reduce stuttering. Stuttering is sometimes referred to as stammering and by a broader term, disfluent speech. Who stutters? Roughly 3 million Americans stutter. Stuttering affects people of all ages. It occurs most often in children between the ages of 2 and 6 as they are developing their language skills. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of all children will stutter for some period in their life, lasting from a few weeks to several years.
