My daughter is nearly 5 and has always been a bit shy and slow to warm up to strangers. In the last few months she has stopped talking altogether with anyone outside our family. Even her extended family that we try to meet once a week, she has stopped talking to.
Have you seen a rise in selective mutism recently? Is this something I need to look intro treating with a therapist or just hope is a phase and something she’ll outgrow when we send her back to school next year?
