LOL funny this should come up because Yasin was stammering so his speechie gave me the number of the woman who has developed the current stammering programs that we use in Australia.
She told me that with 5 out of 6 children it's just a phase and will disappear within 6 months so the best course of action is not to ignore it for 6 months and it usually it goes away. If it persists for 6 months then getting treatment is very important. The best age for treatment is about 4. If it's still there in 4 or 5 months book an appointment with a speechie (I say 4 or 5 months because all the good ones have a waiting list so by the time you see them it's 6 months lol).
Interesting, I've noticed in the past couple of months Nina will say 'mum mum mummy' or 'dad dad daddy' and things like that, but I never actually thought of stammering. So thanks for this thread Dee.
I'm taking her to the dr next week for other things, so might bring it up.
