Stuttering usually begins in childhood when the child is developing language skills, and it rarely develops in adulthood with only 1% of the population affected by the disorder.

Genetics plays a role in stuttering.

Being under stress, overly tired, or having any extreme emotion can make stuttering worse or make it start if you are prone to stutter. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep; try to de-stress your life as much as possible; try to avoid situations that cause emotions like anger. The (non-profit) Stuttering Foundation of America is a great source for help. They have information for all ages, online videos, free e-books, and downloadable brochures.

It can be inherited. See The Stuttering Foundation for more information and help. Their web site has free e-books and streaming videos plus referrals to specialists. Stammering and stuttering are the same thing.
