I don't know but I know I do it to. I repeat things because I feel I can't say them right. As for the "brain working too fast or the mouth" thing....that's what happens with me! :-P  |

My mother noticed he does it more when he's excited. They are just hoping he grows out of it by the time he goes to school.  |

I think he'll eventually grow out of it. I mean he's 2 1/2 hasnt been talking all that long. But you could probably enroll him in a speech program if you think that would help *hugs*  |

I stutter a bit, but that's only because I'm a fast talker and then words come out faster then I mean them too  |

Not everyone grows out of it , but there are some who do. My son stuttered some when he was little, but he grew out of it before he went to school. He is an adult now and the stuttering never came back.  |

My son does that when he is overly excited about something. My daughter has little tolerance and tells him to spit it out quite often..LOL. It's only when he is excited though!  |

Personally I don't find it very funny to make fun of people with stuttering problems...it embarrasses them enough let alone have people make fun of them on top of it. Thanks everyone for all your replies. |

I started stuttering from my first words. I still stutter today. I believe though that the way to make it better is to help them learn how to breathe properly because stuttering occurs when we don't breathe properly and we rush our words. I bet you your nephew is an excitable little fella too. If you cab get him to slow down you may see some results. If he is still stuttering then take him to a speech pathologist and also help him at home by teaching him to sing. Singing helps you to learn how to breathe when your talking. Hope everything works out!  |

I stuttered when I wast younger, and it was the same sort of thing, I'd repeat words over and over again. I went to speech therapy from kindergarten to grade three and it went away. But recently it's actually been making a comeback, now when I'm tired or really excitied I'll say things like "Well it's not like he meant meant meant to do it". My little sister on the other hand had a stutter until she was five years old, then it was gone.  |

Kurt...my mother spoke to someone she works with at a school that deals with this and she said basically the same thing you did. We were told not to make it a big deal but to talk to him a little slower and sing it. Also, that it could be a result from his younger brother who is 3 1/2 months old and that there is jealousy and he's trying to get attention by talking faster. Thanks so much for your reply hubby. *HUGS* |

WOW, I was surprised and happy to see this topic! My grandson who will be three in July has started doing the same thing. I encourage him to speak slower but it doesn't help. His younger brother who is two goes to speech therapy because he does not talk enough at his age. Nathan also is a very bright child and has a great vocabulary for his age. I recently brought this to the attention of the speech therapist. She said that at this age, they sometimes just sometimes get ahead of themselves especially if excited to tell you something. She said if it gets worse he will need to see her as well. She however said that most children do outgrow it and also to encourage them to speak slower.  |

We heard that it usually happens between the ages of 3 and 5. But being my nephew is advanced for his age thats why it happened sooner. Thanks for your reply Bee. =) |

I wasn't suggesting that anyone pick on someone who stutters. My son doesn't have a stuttering problem, he gets ahead of himself when he is excited about something. Siblings will pick on one another, and that it what they do, pick on and at each other....CONSTANTLY. |
