Interview from 24/05/2022 (01:03:48 min): Why are some children «chatterboxes» at home and can't get a word in edgewise outside the family environment? Are they just shy or do they suffer from a speech block? Sabine Laerum explains how parents can recognise selective mutism and where the boundary lies between a shy nature, social anxiety and selective mutism. She also gives tips on how families and teachers can support affected children in speaking with courage.
