My daughter is stuttering. I am worried. Can a child grow out of stuttering?

Speech therapy is a great benefit to those that stutter. The reason for stuttering is different for everyone and is often coupled with treatment from a licensed mental health therapist as anxiety has been found to often time tie closely to stuttering. It is possible to sometimes grow out of it but is more than likely something to address early.
Some children may not require therapy for stuttering. I recommend seeing a speech-language pathologist who specializes in stuttering to determine if she would benefit from therapy.
