The first is learning to understand the spoken language, and the second is speaking. Both of these usually develop around the age of two. The third stage is speaking complex sentences, which develops at around three, and the fourth is when the child recognises the written alphabet. In 80% of children, while the third and fourth stages are at play, the first two get disturbed because something new is being incorporated in the mind. This is absolutely normal. But what over-cautious mothers do is fret a lot, and the child develops a fear which later manifests itself as stammering.
