MY little guy started stuttering around 3 or so though he mostly stuttered when he was excited. Of course being the manic parent I was freaked out and started worrying. What did I do? What can I do? I thought that the best thing was to wait it out (not long though) and see what happens then move on from there to his ped if necessary. What I did when he stuttered was suggest that he stop and literally SPIT the words out. He would have to pause, spit, then talk. Boys LOVE to spit anyway so this seem so why not? lol It worked most of the time. It seems that he has outgrown this little phase, hopefully yours will too. Good luck.
I was a stutterer up until I started school..My mom was very patient with me..She would say slow down and take your time..didn't work She was a singer..Sang all the time and sang us to sleep each night..One day I was busy playing and I was imitating mom and singing..Mom heard me and lo and behold, I was not stuttering From then on when I started to stutter I would sing what I needed to say..after just a few months my stuttering was gone (except for very seldom relapses during very exciting ti,es) I do have a word block occasionally when I am very stressed or tired...
my son stutters and its terrible when he is tired, excited, or if hie attention gets caught elsewhere in the middle of a sentence. he is 4 and has been doing this since he was 3. i dont know the exact time he started but i think i began to notice it when he was learning how to pronounce his letters. i'm not sure if the way he was being taught is what triggered it or not. in his class the teacher would teach in this manner: "BUH-BUH-BUH for ball". and ever since he will stutter his words " I-I-I-IIIIIIIII want to eat!" is there anything that my family and I can do to help at home, before i decide to send him to a speech therapist?
I agree with golfgal. Toddlers' brains often move too fast for them to articulate what they are thinking. My daughter did the same thing when she was that age. I just listened to her and ignored the stuttering. She outgrew it.
My daughter had the same problem and we basically found out if was because she had so much to say that she tried to say it all at once. Remind the child everytime they stutter to slow down and think about what they're saying.

Why did he have a teacher at 3 years old? Doesn't sound like a professionally trained teacher. Was it daycare?
