    Stuttering in Teens and Preteens

    Your child tends to repeat certain syllables, words, or phrases, and you wonder if he or she has a stuttering problem. Maybe, but stuttering can also be part of a normal developmental phase.

The resources on this page will help you understand the difference between stuttering and normal language development.
