I started watching thinking it was an attention seeking form of behaviour. What child wouldn't speak? They would not get a thing in my house if they didn't ask nicely etc etc.

 

I then watched and realised there was so much more to it, a very complex condition. My heart went out to those girls for participating in what must have been a very hard documentary to make. I feel enlightened and have an appreciation of their condition. Let's hope those girls continue to make the progress they desire.

I meant to watch it, but forgot. One of my daughter's friends was a selective mute right into secondary school. They have lost touch a bit now, but I think she is a lot better.

 

The funniest thing was getting a phone call. I would answer the phone to a long silence on the other end. After a while I would say "Is that A.....?" and hear a grunt in response. "I'll get E . . . ". I'd reply!

I know a three year-old who has speech issues. She basically says 'aaair' like the Little Britain character Anne for everything, but she understands everything and isn't shy around strangers. She will go up to them with toys and for cuddles.

 

It may be trauma/anxiety related. I don't know what her home life was like, but she may have been witness to some nastiness (although not abused herself). She was in care, and is now with a good parent, but her birth mother died in murky circumstances.

 

The health people say they don't know what the problem is with her speech development. Would this be a possible avenue to explore?

If she has been to see a speech and language therapist and they have drawn a blank then it might be worth looking into a referral to a psychologist. The earlier these problems are picked up then the treatment is usually more successful.

My son didn't utter a word until he was three.....and then one day started to speak - in sentences.

 

I doubt anyone would be offering a diagnosis on a child as young as three, as it isn't that unusual for them not to be speaking.

My nephew was exactly the same, he had an older brother who knew what he wanted so he never bothered.

My nephew was similar - can't shut him up now

The parent is a bit worried about it. We'll have to sit tight and see if things change this year. Thanks.

My son said very little when he was 3 and only really his older sister could understand him. He couldn't really talk properly until he was about 7 and even now he thinks for some time to get his words out and describes it as feeling like the words are running around his head and not lining up nicely to come out

 

I can understand how a phobia like this might develop, social phobias are so hard to deal with, and greatly underestimated.
