[quote=Anonymous]1. Stop explaining to her that it's impolite. It doesn't sound like she's doing it on purpose. 2. I would have her evaluated by an SLP (Speech Language Pathologist) for selective mutism: http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/SelectiveMutism/ Selective mutism presents itself in different ways, however, I have met kids who will speak to their parents, their friends, and their teacher just fine. But could not with other adults whether the knew them or not. I don't think they're trying to be rude. However, as a parent, I would seek the advice of a professional. It may clear up on it's own or take time/intervention.[/quote]
