@findinghervoicesm: Ava is talking in her classroom now, so it’s time to stretch those brave talking muscles a little more. I put together a 4-week plan for her with one small talking goal at a time. The goals start easy as she settles back into school, but each week they’ll get a little harder. She’s working toward initiating conversations and speaking in front of more people. This week she has 3 goals. One on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Complete a goal = earn a sticker. Get all 3 stickers = donut on Friday. I don’t want to push her from “I can talk at school” straight to “I can talk anywhere, in front of anyone.” We’re building the next skill one tiny step at a time. And apparently donuts are our training currency around here. #selectivemutism #bravetalking #preschool #childhoodanxiety #anxiety

how did you manage to get her to talk in class? my little girl has just started school 2 weeks ago so still early days but she has not spoken a word and am getting really concerned that she will never speak in school.

She’s gonna be like 30 have a job and this is going to be a distant memory but every time her boss asks her a question and she answers she’s gonna be like - I really want a donut. And not know why. - also well done both of you crazy to think that only the beginning of this year this task seemed to be impossible and now it’s something she’s achieving a lot.
