The Causes Of Stammering
By Stephen Hill
When a person has a stammer or a parent realises that their child is developing a stammer they often want to find out the cause. So what causes a stammer?

The answer is many things can trigger someone starting to stammer. These are some of them:

It can be a traumatic event

It can run in the family

People may copy a friend at school who has a stutter and then it sticks An over aggressive relative

Last year I had a female client who told me how she had developed a stammer. She was fluent until the age of twenty four. At this age she became pregnant for the first time, she was very happy and excited about the prospects about becoming a mother.

She was apprehensive about the and her friends had been winding her up telling her how painful the experience

is. She knew that they were only teasing and tried to keep relaxed.

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

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