She was apprehensive about birth and her friends had been winding her up telling her how painful experience is. She knew that they were only teasing and tried to keep relaxed.

The day of birth arrived and unfortunately delivery was particulary hard and she was extremely shocked about how bad it actually was. After birth of baby, who was a healthy boy she developed stutter.

Not all people who stutter have it from an early age, another one of my clients was fluent until age of nineteen. At this age he had a car crash and this was trigger to him starting to stutter.

If instead of being patient parents or relatives are aggressive, saying things like: "Get your words boy" "Spit it out!" These types of comments can have a very negative effect and make that child withdraw into their shell. This may to some people seem very obvious to say, however you would not believe amount of people who have told me this is what they were told as an infant.
