Recently, my son started to stutter. As a parent, despite the reassurance of others, I was deeply concerned. Thank God that it only lasted a week.

As I was doing my rounds of reading newspapers, I found this. According to a new study, "Young children who stutter may be more emotionally sensitive and have greater difficulty regulating their feelings than children who don't have the common speech problem."

It's an insight which could help us, parents and doctors, try to find more ways on how to approach this problem.
