Parent of Stuttering Preschool Child — Hoping for Perspective and Advice

Parent of Stuttering Preschool Child — Hoping for Perspective and Advice Hi Everyone, My wife and I are the parents of a very bright, verbally precocious toddler who has begun stuttering quite frequently during the last month (he turns four in a few weeks). I don’t believe he has any prolongations or blocks, but he repeats words and syllables, most often (but not exclusively at the start of sentences). At its most pronounced, he repeats words (like Daddy) 10+ times, seemingly involuntarily. I realize that there are far, far greater challenges that parents and their children must face, but I find watching my (almost) 4-year-old son struggle heartbreaking, especially when he gets frustrated and tries covering his mouth to stop the repetition. My wife and I are consulting with a number of SLPs, but I would greatly appreciate any advice or input from this group. Thank you!
