During the preschool years, children often have experiences they want to share but had
difficulty putting the words together. Children at this stage commonly repeat whole words
or phrases and interject "um" into their speech. This may be more frequent during times of
excitement or when formulating long and complex sentences. Parents can help their child
by focusing on the idea that the child is expressing not on how the child is speaking.
Parents should not complete the child's sentences or draw attention to the child's speech.
