Why do you stutter when you talk?
"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). However, there is no consensus on what actually CAUSES stuttering. Stuttering is not CAUSED by a fast-paced lifestyle or by any actions on the part of the family, however, a person who stutters may become anxious due to the above and stutter more due to the tension caused by the anxiety, just as all of us find ourselves having difficulty with speech, actions or thinking when anxious.
Stuttering may occur when a combination of factors comes together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse."
