It is relatively common for a two-and-a-half-year-old child to stutter, which is usually attributed to young age, psychological tension, complex language demands, or developmental stuttering. When a child exhibits stuttering, parents should avoid deliberately correcting it, as this may cause the child anxiety and potentially worsen the stuttering. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
