Explanation

Stuttering is now understood to have neurological origins rather than psychological causes. Research shows differences in brain structure and function in people who stutter, particularly in areas related to speech motor control. While stress can make stuttering worse, the root cause is physical/neurological, not parenting style or psychological trauma.
