Stuttering is when a person gets stuck on certain words or sounds, like repeating them over and over. It’s kind of like when you're excited to tell someone something but your brain can’t keep up with how fast you’re talking, it feels like your mouth is fighting your thoughts! Some people only stutter sometimes, and others do it all the time, especially when they feel nervous.
Examples
- A boy at school repeats 'I-I-I want to go first!' before his turn.
- A girl gets stuck on the word 'because' and can't say it for a few seconds.
- A man says 'ba-ba-ba-banana' when trying to tell a joke.
