Yes, a surprising amount of people stutter when they are young. It is quite common in children, however, the vast majority of those children do not actually stutter.
Basically, its like a newly born horse learning to walk for the first time, its awkward and doesnt always work. but eventually they will get the hang of it, and walk normally.

However, with a stutter, it is different. There are alot of misconceptions out there about a stutter. Some think that it is a pychological problem like nerves, or a traumatic event as a child.

Those are all false. Its still very much a mystery, however from what I have learned (alot) about it. Is that, it is a whole bunch of things that come together to create the stutter.

Firstly, the way I talk is completely different, I just done mean sound wise. But the physical manner in the way my lips, jaws, toungue, vocal cords and all the muscles in my throat all move and react differently while talking than someone else does. Scientists still do not understand why, but one of the most effective ways to treat a stutter. Is to basically break the speach down into segments, and re-contruct your speech pattern into a normal patter. this is incredibly difficult, because essentially you are trying to make your unconcious brain act differently.

Its like trying to breath differently, sure its easy when you think about it. However, like speech, when you breath 90% of it is done unconciously. You are not physically trying to manipulate how you breath, you just do it! Unless you are trying to emphazise something, or purposly talk differently.

Secondly, My cognative brain overloads the speech part of my brain with thoughts, ideas, and what have you. Think of it as an 8 lane highway all of a suddenly, condensing into a 2 lane highway... thats basically what happens when I speak.
