Is this just a phase?

It’s completely understandable to wonder whether your child’s stuttering is just a phase, and will resolve on its own. For some children, stuttering is a temporary part of early speech and language development. For others, it may persist. While research hasn’t yet found a way to predict who will recover naturally and who won’t, early support can make a meaningful difference -helping your child communicate more confidently and with less effort.

Did I cause the stuttering?

No. Stuttering is no one’s fault. It is a neurodevelopmental condition, and while genetics can play a role, parenting style or specific events do not cause stuttering. The most important thing you can do is provide a supportive and relaxed environment for your child to communicate.
