    Stuttering happens in about 1 out of every 100 children. Here are some characteristics
    of stuttering:
    • Part word repetitions: your child repeats parts of words 3 or more times.
    • Prolongations: your child holds a sound for too long.
    • Blocks: the child cannot get some words started.
    • Disfluencies: happen more than 10% of the time.
