First of all, what is stuttering? My son is 5 years old and he is in pre-k. Last week his teacher told me that he might need some speech therapy becuase he stutters. For about a year now, I've noticed my son having dificulty communicating. I will give you an example of what he says: If he is going to say "I want to go outside." He'll say,"I I I I I I I want to go outside." Is this stuttering? I might also add, that we speak both English and Spanish at home and he does this in both languages. Do you think he needs professional help? Is it true that it's hard for a child to learn two languages at the same time?
