Only allow scissors during supervised activities. Use child-safe scissors with rounded tips. Teach that scissors are only for paper. Store out of reach when not in use.

severity.infoStuttering may appear
It's common for toddlers to stutter or repeat words as their language develops rapidly. Most developmental stuttering resolves on its own.
action.label
Don't draw attention to the stuttering. Maintain eye contact and wait patiently. Don't finish their sentences. Speak slowly yourself. If it persists past 6 months, consult a speech-language pathologist.
