My daughter stuttered at the age of 4. As a lifetime stutterer with stuttering on both sides of her biology I was horrified believing she was doomed. I made all kinds of bargains with god that this curse would be lifted. She remarkably became fluent by the age of 6. Since then I’ve learned that many children experience this disfluency as a normal stage of language formation. Please don’t believe this will necessarily become permanent. My daughter has a career requiring public speaking. She remains fluent and has no memory of ever having an issue. Only I remember my fear that she would inherit this condition.
