Stuttering is a speech impediment. It occurs from the littlest things it life to

the most personal tragedy that one might have in their life. The emotional

stress a stutter goes through in daily living can sometimes be the hardest

part of their lives. Some people seem to start stuttering as a child but most

will overcome the stuttering before they reach the adult stage of their lives.

I myself cannot really remember that I was ever a stutterer until I was 17.

The lost of my mother at that age really set me back and from then on my

speech was set back also. I began to stutter more and more as my life went

on. I am now 56 and yes I still stutter just as much and more then I did when

I was younger. I have took my rounds of speech classes through our local

hospital but it never helped me at all. I do believe that you can instill stuttering

into your own children if you are a stutterer yourself. My daughter use to stutter

and one day I told her to stop it.. sounds funny but it helped. She hasn't stuttered

for years now. The mind is a powerful influence towards the human body.

Stammering is the direct result of preplanning what you are about to say. Your brain has the ability to outline a response to an event or occurance. So ,when your brain knows what to say,it can get ahead of what you are currently saying ,automatically dropping it and proceeding with the next word or phrase.

also people stammer because what they are about to say they repeat it in their head again lke me.

Genetics and processing speech on the right side of the brain. Most people process speaking on the left side, stutterers process speaking on the right side. Singing is processed on the right side, that's why we don't stutter when we sing.

You can learn more about it online, if you want to research the subject, and from experts on the country in which you live.

There is no simple or obvious cause. It may be due to a variety of factors such problems in the home or at school. Stammering can be evident between the ages of three and five. One in twenty will stammer and most will recover without help.

There is no cure for a stammer but some therapies may help. Sufferers may need to speak more slowly and speech therapists may have a variety of suggestions that will help

It is sometimes hereditary. You can get information and help online or from specialists working in the country in which you reside.

The Stuttering Foundation states "What causes stuttering?There are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: genetics ( approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); neurophysiology ( recent research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those who do not stutter); and family dynamics ( high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering)." In our family, the cause is genetics.

The brain (not to mention the body) is naturally designed to maintain homeostasis, if at all possible. When an individual exhibits symptoms of being nervous, tense, anxious or any exhibits any significant emotional state, the energy once focused on completing processes, such as speaking, is no longer available.

For example, an individual who is attempting to speak in-front of a rather large group of people. While speaking this individual experiences an increase in temperature, dizziness, sweating or even an increase in heart rate. Given the fact that both the brain, and the body, have limited resources (e.g. energy or energy to use at one time), the energy normally associated with processes such as speaking, reading, walking or even vision (e.g. clear vision) is now used to maintain temperature, slow the heart rate or to maintain balance.
