Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates🎃 Whether you’re out trick-or-treating or staying in to hand out candy, we wish you a safe and fun day!

🎃 Halloween is tomorrow! That means it’s time to get ready for trick-or-treating! 🍬👻
For children with Selective Mutism (SM), Halloween can bring extra anxiety, but with a proactive plan, SM doesn’t have to stop the fun!
Trick-or-Treat Tickets are a great way to celebrate your child’s bravery and help them feel proud of their efforts. You can even create some fun tickets with your child!
Here are a few more tips to make the night a success:
1️⃣ Talk with your child about what they’re excited for and what might make them nervous.
2️⃣ Set clear, achievable goals together, and plan a fun reward for their bravery!
3️⃣ Practice, practice, practice! Try role-playing at home with family or walking around the neighborhood to build confidence.
4️⃣ If your child gets stuck, go back to the last place of success or take a short break away from the crowd to reset.
5️⃣ Give labeled praise throughout the night, “I love how brave you were at that door!”

We hope you have a safe and fun Halloween!

Nearly any place you go with your kiddo where there is another person is a potential opportunity to practice brave talking and live an exposure lifetsyle. If you keep items on hand to support the brave talking practice it may make it easier to seize those less planned opportunities. These are some ideas to get you started but be creative and think of your own ideas and what would be motivating for your kiddo too!

As the weather starts to get cooler, a great way to practice mindfulness is taking a walk outside! Slow down, breathe, and notice the colors, sounds, and scents around you. A nature walk can be more than exercise, it can be a reset for your mind!
