New beginnings don’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes they show up quietly, in a small brave step, a growing sense of safety, or the decision to try again. We believe in the magic of beginnings.💖

Never forget your worth. Every child’s voice has value, spoken or unspoken. Progress looks different for everyone, and every step matters.

Individuals with Selective Mutism often cannot speak, not because they won’t, but because they can’t. Your support turns silence into connection. Support our 2025 Annual Appeal: https://t.co/jmKLXImhGL ❤️

What if we stopped asking “What if it doesn’t get better?” and started asking… 🌟 “What’s the best that could happen?”🌟 With understanding, support, and the right tools, children with selective mutism can grow, thrive, and speak with confidence. 💙

The days after a holiday can feel heavier than expected.❤️ Social energy, travel, routine changes, and overstimulation all add up. Rest helps your body recalibrate and return to baseline. If you need a quiet Saturday, that is valid.🫶🏻

Happy Thanksgiving.🧡🦃 If a child with selective mutism is quieter today, they’re not being rude or shy. They’re overwhelmed. Offer comfort, not pressure. Support comes first.

Eve shares her hope for Selective Mutism: Getting the Word Out, a film meant to guide parents, equip educators, and support clinicians. Awareness creates action, and action changes outcomes. Let’s keep getting the word out. 🌟

For many children with Selective Mutism, holiday gatherings bring new environments, unfamiliar faces, and increased pressure to speak. This Thanksgiving, remember that communication takes many forms. A child’s silence is not refusal. It is an anxiety response.

As a parent of a child with SM, it's essential to keep holiday expectations realistic. Instead of aiming for significant social milestones, focus on small, achievable steps that keep the holiday spirit fun and relaxed. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the holidays together! 🌟
