  • Good video, I have it and just recently figured it out...so its really good to know theres a name for it other than "shyness", cuz when someone says you're shy it makes you feel like you can help it, but you actually can't and it gets really frustrating. I have a video about it too on my channel!

  • im 14 and peole think the sanebout me

  • @jerseychik26 I know you posted your comment awhile ago but oh well. I am 18 and overcame SM at 13, and I sincerely wish you and your daughter the best. Things are different for every child, but what worked best in my situation was being in a situation with two peers, one who I talked to and one who I didn't. This helped me gradually warm up to the peer I did not talk to because I was able to let them hear my whisper when I talked to the peer I was more comfortable with. Best wishes

  • my daughter is everything u mentioned and more. she was diagnosed with select mutism when she was 4 so about 2 years now. she does the ocupational therapy and play therapy but i don't feel is helping. what can u suggest what has helped? i'm desperate and overwhelmed with all of it

  • they need to change the name, it makes SM people seem rude or that they dont like the person >:(

  • @angelaellisashley this works too, write down "I know how to read" on a paper :)

  • My daughter stopped speaking in Kindergarten and is now 9 and fully recovered from her SM

  • Its me Frances i love this video also i cryed it all like my baby girl.

  • I am 20 and have selective mutism but i am slowly getting better
