Stammering is common in early age like upto 4-5years nothing to worry about it will be normal after that.some precautions you may follow  during communication with child .speaking slowly and calmly to your child encouraging taking turns and listening within the family doing more of what seems to help your child's fluency – for example, chatting about what you and your child are doing together, such as playing, cooking, walking to pre-school, or looking at favourite books not interrupting or criticising your child making the family environment as relaxing and calm as possible
Next Steps
if stammering persists then u can take help with speech and language therapist.

Children in homes where violence is seen  may feel fearful and anxious. This can cause them to react in different ways, depending on their age:  Young children who witness  violence may start doing things they used to do when they were younger, such as   increased crying, and whining. They may also develop difficulty falling or staying asleep; show signs of terror, such as stuttering or hiding; These are short term effects of witnessing violence.
Next Steps
You can help your children by: Helping them feel safe. Children who witness or experience domestic violence need to feel safe. Talking to them about their fears. Let them know that it’s not their fault or your fault. Talking to them about healthy relationships. Help them learn from the abusive experience by talking about what healthy relationships are and are not. This will help them know what is healthy when they start relationships of their own. Talking to them about boundaries. Let your child know that no one has the right to touch them or make them feel uncomfortable, including family members, teachers, coaches, or other authority figures. Helping them find a reliable support system. In addition to a parent, this can be a school counselor, a therapist, or another trusted adult who can provide ongoing support. Getting them professional help.
