Selective Mutism: 7 important points

In today's video, I will explain 7 important aspects to consider for Selective Mutism.

Have you ever heard that your child is choosing not to talk?
Children who are talkative at home but are not able to speak in certain settings or around unfamiliar people could have selective mutism (SM). There are children who are naturally shy but are still able to communicate verbally with others.
Selective Mutism, however, is included in a wide range of anxiety disorders and is often seen in children. While there are children who are not able to speak and communicate, children with SM are able to speak when the setting is secure and comfortable for them.

1. The causes aren’t clear
2. It’s more common among shy girls and minority groups
3. The symptoms emerge early on
4. Children with SM are prone to tantrums
5. It can cause learning outcomes to suffer
6. It can present alongside other conditions
7. It affects social skills
