Dear parent,
how many kids do you have? What is the number of this child? Are you both working and leaving him at child care or with nanny? There are multiple factors in such cases and most important is psychological one. Keep a vigilant watch on his surroundings and his interaction with others. If he is stuttering more with a particular person. Be with him, assure him with your love and presence. Try to find the cause and remove it. Don't scold him or make fun of his stuttering.
