Can anyone help? My little lad has slowly been developing a stammer since he started school. I assumed it would pass as it only seemed to intensify when he was excited and I could see he was trying to rush out words. But the last couple of weeks I notice that he totally blocking on words and repeating words and sounds and has become quite frustrated by it. I don;t want to take him to a speech therapist just yet as I don't want it to make an issue of it for him or lead him to feel there is something wrong, but I have been doing lots of internet research to educate myself.

Has anyone here had any success by treating stammer homeopathically? If you think you can help here are some pointers.

He is by nature a very bright and bubbly boy, but very shy and self conscious with strangers. He moves and thinks very quickly, but can become quite dreamy and hesitant when in stressful situations, i.e. starting school, answering questions from adults he doesn't know etc. His mood can change rapidly - he can be wailing his eyes out one minute, and laughing the next! He likes to joke a lot and play on words. He is very tacile and cuddlesome with people he knows.

He likes bacon, smoked meats, olives and sweets and dislikes creamy food, eggs and baked beans.

He is naturally a hot, sweaty child and wees a lot! He has a very agile, nimble body.

If anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful!!
