Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder where a child experiences high levels of anxiety about speaking in specific situations. This can mean that they are unable to speak in these situations. Children with other speech and language difficulties can also experience more general anxiety related to their talking. These tips from the Selective Mutism Association are helpful for supporting any child with anxiety.

It can be hard to know how to support your child through their anxiety, but sometimes, the simplest words can make all the difference.

Comforting phrases like these can help them feel seen and understood.

These small moments of reassurance not only validate their feelings but also give you a better understanding of what they really need. 🧡

Getting out into nature can have many benefits to children and parents alike. It can also be a great way to support children's speech and language development. Going on a listening walk can help develop their attention and listening skills and their early sound awareness skills. Getting out and about can also be a great way to introduce new vocabulary. What new words could you introduce to your little one when out and about? Remember, repetition is key when introducing new words.

It comes as no surprise that most little ones love playing outdoors - but did you know just how good it is for them?

Using signing alongside the key words you use with your child is a great way to support their communication. Research show us that it positively encourages the development of your child's language and communication skills so dont worry, it wont stop them from speaking. The key is to speak and sign at the same time. Here is the makaton sign for spring.
