SM Do's and Don'ts for Parents

Created by child psychologists specializing in child anxiety, the SM Do’s and Don’ts booklet gives caregivers evidence-based, practical steps to follow to better support a child with selective mutism.

Parents and caregivers will find essential strategies and sample scripts to create a supportive environment and encourage bravery.

We encourage families to use this resource together, offering positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement, and structured practice to help children gain confidence in their brave talking skills!
