Avoiding speaking in groups

Social Communication Disorder

Children with speaking difficulties usually find it hard to face the crowd. They might become anxious and fearful about their situation. That keeps them more inclusive and less interactive to social groups.

The children might be comfortable in communicating to parents but when it comes to public situations the silent battle that they face inside pulls them back to not to talk or expand the group.

This pattern of skipping from public interactions can be termed as Social Communication Disorder.

Moments Where Parents Pause

  • When the child interacts comfortably with parents but when facing the crowd keep the silence.
  • When the teacher complaints about the child is not interactive or less answerable to the class works.
  • When the child skips the public interactions.
  • When the child interacts less with the children of the same age.

These are some situations where parents pause and try to understand what the child is lacking.
