"Did you know that some children talk freely at home but can’t get a single word out at school? It’s not stubbornness, and it’s not shyness — it’s something called selective mutism, an anxiety condition that literally freezes a child’s ability to speak.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Talk, we dive into the most common questions parents and teachers ask.
What causes selective mutism?
How can you tell the difference between being quiet and having SM?
And most importantly — what actually helps, and what makes it worse?

If you’ve ever wondered how to support a child with selective mutism — or you just want to understand it better — this episode is for you.
