Optional silence in children

It is a anxiety disorder that prevents a child from speaking in certain social situations, including classes and public places, but he is able to speak freely to his family and friends when no one else hears him. It is important to bear in mind that when this condition occurs in the child, he is not silent by his will, but is unable to speak. But over time, some children are able to anticipate times when they lose the ability to speak and do what they can to avoid them. Experts say the disorder is a terror of speech. Most infected children go beyond this situation with time, support and treatment. This disorder is rare. It is also more common among girls than boys. In addition, ethnic minorities and children who have migrated from their home countries to other countries are also more likely to be infected. This disorder usually begins at the age when the child begins to interact with others outside the family, for example, in the nursery or preschool.
