Is my child’s “stuttering” normal?

Non-fluent speech is typical between the ages of two and six years. It is typical for non-fluent speech to last up to six months, improve and then return. Any child who is demonstrating any “struggle behaviors” (e.g., facial/bodily tension, breathing disruptions, blocks, grimacing) should be referred to a speech-language pathologist.
