justamom Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Do any of your children stammer??? K does it on and off when he is stressed/ill and he has been having a really hard time today with getting a sentence out. We were advised not to finish his sentences for him which is hard not to do because he will be stuck on a word and you want to help him out!!! I know its stress related but I just can't put my finger on whats causing it, i have been very low the past few days (its my sisters wedding today in South Africa - and i could not make it- it just cost too much money) do you think that he is picking up on my vibes... justamom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son Barry doesn't stammer as such, but he will start saying a word and just stop in the middle of it, then take ages to complete the word. Its not just one type of word either and these are words he knows and uses regularly without any problem, Until he's upset/stressed/excited. Your son could be picking up on your vibes, or he may have something else on his mind, have you asked him if anything is bothering him or, as Barry would put it if something doesn't feel right? He might just be excited about something (like the upcoming easter holidays for example?) Hope this helps, keep your chin up! Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tylers-mum Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Yep, T stammers too but only when he's under preasure or when he has eye contact. He'll stand fidgetting and can't seem to get his words out. Sorry you missed your sister's wedding. I'm sure she knows that you are with her in her heart. <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
