Hi Jessica! The honest answer is, "We're not sure." But with that said, the latest research suggests that our genetics play a big part of it...as does our brains (and how our brains function). So I'm going to go out on a limb here and make the following guess: I believe that genetics affect how our brains are structured, which affect how our brains work, which results in stuttering behaviors. Clear as mud? :) (I honestly wish we knew more to give you a better answer!)
