My 4 year old daughter is not speaking to anyone outside home since last one year. At home, she is very active, speaks very well to us, very talkative. She is going to play outside home with friends since last 4 months but doesn't talk to them but play with them. No one heard her voice. My neighbor daily says to her why are you not speaking. We also tell her every day to speak but she says I feel shy. She has taken admitted in school in nursery class. Since last 3 days she is going to school but never speaks there, never eats her lunch, never drink water. Her teacher try to make her eat but she doesn't open her mouth. We are a nuclear family, husband,wife, and daughter. I am working woman. My husband always fights with me. I scold my daughter many times when she did any mistakes. One day I went to a sadhu baba with my daughter when she was 3 years old to solve our conflict .then he put his hand on my head,said something in my ear. Seeing this my daughter screamed loudly. What made my daughter so much shy and scared I don't understand. Please help me. What should I do.
