    • King daddy-o & his quiet girl by M. Sandoval, 10/20/98
      
      

The fascinating thing about my daughter is how well she manipulates her talking friends and sisters to handle her social dilemas. When her friends come to the house she is able to talk as a normal child but when she is at school with the same friends she doesn't speak. Many of the other children are begining to realize this preferential treatment she gives these select friends and are begining to ostrasize her.

Tomorrow we meet with her second therapist and in november we will begin the process of seeing a psychologist, which will most likely lead us to medication (this is something I am having trouble with. My goodness she is only seven years old!! Anyone who would like to discuss their dealings with selective mutism is welcome to e-mail me at msandevil@aol.com
