Hi all,

I am concerned about my 3yr old son.He has always spoken really well without any problems.

Then on about the 23rd December i noticed he was having a few problems getting the words out therefore causing him to stutter. I put it all down to the excitement of christmas, having his nan and pop staying with us and lots of late nights and thought maybe he is just tired and this was what was causing him to stutter.

Well with christmas over and his nan and pop gone i am affraid to say that the stuttering has stayed so obviously christmas,visitors ,late nights etc have nothing to do with it.

I am wondering if i should take him to the Dr's now to get there opinion or if i should just let it go for another week and see what happens. I want to sort the problem out now, as i figure the longer i leave it the worse it will get.

If anyone has gone through this i would love to hear what you did to help with the stuttering.Did you go to speech pathology? How long before you noticed any improvement? How much does it cost?

Thanks in advance, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
