Hi Rike, As a parent, I'm sure you are very concerned about your daughter beginning to stutter. It is difficult to know what to suggest given the brief information you have given. When you say she is "stuttering" what is she doing when she stutters? She notices her speech but I would need to know what she is focusing on...her speech, her reactions to what people are saying to her, how others are reacting, etc.? Moving to a new location can be very stressful to anyone and that might have increased the anxiety your daughter feels right now. However, there are many aspects of her fluency disorder that need to be evaluated so I would suggest that you find someone who specializes in stuttering and see what that person recommends. You can also check out my website to see what speech-language pathologists look for when parents ask, Is my child beginning to stutter? Go to www.unl.edu/fluency and then select "for parents" and that will take you to information you might find helpful.
