Fenek is quite fond of chatting, so he's puzzled when he encounters a peer in the café who doesn't speak... He wonders if perhaps the unfamiliar boy is afraid to talk. What's the issue? Why is it so, and can one communicate in silence too? This book is about building relationships with individuals with selective mutism.
Through this little book, a child will: • Understand that some children may find it difficult to express themselves; • Realise that our limitations do not define us; • Learn about the existence of selective mutism and its characteristic features; • Learn how to behave in the presence of a child who speaks little or not at all.
In addition to content that is age-appropriate for children and beautiful, colourful illustrations, the book also includes: • Questions to check understanding of the content, • Ideas for interesting activities to do with your child after reading the book, • Expert opinions from doctors, educators, psychologists, and many others.
Our fairy tales are the perfect way to spend time pleasantly, yet effectively with your little one. It's not just a bedtime story, but something much more.
