Causes of stuttering in children. We donât really know why stuttering happens. It might be because thereâs an error or delay in the message that a childâs brain sends to the muscles of her mouth when she needs to speak. This error or delay makes it hard for the child to coordinate her mouth muscles when sheâs talking, which results in stuttering.
So, Why Do People Stutter? Experts aren't clear about what causes stuttering, but it does tend to run in families, so there may be a genetic component. Further, boys are more likely than girls to develop stuttering speech. Boys are also more likely to continue to stutter as adults than girls. (Can You Cure Stuttering?)
