sahmof3 Posts 1	Hello, I am writing in desperate need of answers and/or advice. I am a very confused and worried mother of a 3 1/2 year old boy. He started talking at 2 1/2 almost 3. I speak to him in Spanish, my husband in Vietnamese and now he understands the languages and communicates very well with me of my husband. He is a very happy normal kid at home but when someone comes over or we go places he doesn't speak to no one including grandparents. He has shown to be afraid of many things such as loud noises or people in general. I have been taking him to a family day care and he will not speak to the 2 teachers and around kids just wispers and sometimes he will talk to the kids (in English). So he knows 3 languages and I think and believe that this has hurt him instead of benefiting him. The pediatrician says that we are doing the right thing teaching him 3 languages and I took him to a speech therapist and she heard him talking to me so she ruled out any speech problems but thinks he needs therapy twice a week to help with articulation, I took him once but he didn't talk. My dad gets so frustrated around him because he loves him so much but doesn't talk and doesn't look at him. His teachers continue to inform me of their concern and I don't know what to do. The pedi recommend I see a neurologist but appoinments in MCH are until March 16th. I read a lot about selective mutism but can't find what type of doctor would specialize int hat disorder. Any one has a selective mute kid? Who diagnosed him? he is suppose to start VPK this fall but I am afraid he will be kick out of school for not talking to teachers. I just want to cry He needs social anxiety help!
