    WBM, both my boys were the same, they would trip on a whole word not some much mid words. The intervetions have worked really well on them.

    Jakabella, I used the speech through my local hospital, they were really good.

    I have read in numerous articles/books that sometimes children of this age (from 2yrs on when they're talking really kicks off) can stutter at different times as they are sometimes over-excited and not able to put together the words they want to say in time, and that this can be totally normal.

    My DD1 is and has always been a fantastic talker from a very young age but sometimes (although not daily) when a bit excited she will stutter at the beginning of her sentence as she tries to get out what she's about to say and I have to wait for her to get it out or sometimes help her.

    I suppose if it's happening daily though and a few times a day, it's probably best to see someone. BUT if it's just a now and then thing, I wouldn't worry as it can be very normal for kids to do this.

    If you want my opinion, I think you probably don't have anything to worry about and its normal for her age. But you're her mum if it doesnt feel right get it looked at.
