ABSTRACT

While you may be feeling anxious and stressed about your child

not talking, try not to show it. She is experiencing anxiety and stress

herself and may look to you for a calming, stress-free influence. Try

to be relaxed and chatty around your child, just as you would be

with other children. You will need to find bucket-loads of patience,

perseverance, acceptance, tolerance and understanding in order to

effectively help your child to overcome this condition; ensure you have

adequate support networks in order to do so.
