It can be a very worrying time for parents who realise that
their child has started stuttering Not all people who have a
stutter have it from childhood I have met quite a number of
people who were fluent in childhood, however started to stutter
when they were an adult So what causes a stutter?
There are many reasons people start stuttering in the first
place These are some of them:
It can be as a result of a traumatic event
A family member may have a stutter, and they have picked up the
bad speaking habits
People may copy a friend at school who has a stutter and then it
sticks
An over aggressive relative who is not very patient
A few years ago, I had a female client who explained how she had
developed a stutter She had been fluent until the age of twenty
four At this age she became pregnant for the first time, she
was very happy and excited about the prospects of motherhood and
was certainly not prepared of what would happen next
She was quite nervous about giving birth of the baby and her
friends had been winding her up telling her how painful the
experience is She realised that they were only trying to wind
her up and basically ignored them
The day of the birth arrived and unfortunately the delivery was
particulary long and difficult She was extremely shocked about
how bad it actually was and for whatever reason she developed a
stutter after the birth of the baby, who was a healthy boy
Not all people who stutter have it from an early age, another
one of my clients was fluent until the age of nineteen At this
age he had a car crash and this was the trigger to him starting
to stutter
