I have a son who going to turn 2 years old next month. I am not sure if this is normal whereby, he is not paying attention especially when we communicate with him. He is also the type of person that don’t like to sit still and always like to be on the move. He is also haven’t start talking and when bring for checkup we did consult this with the doctor and according to the doctor for kinds that are hyperactive they will take time to talk.

Perhaps its could be our parenting style so any guides is very much appreciated.

hv u tried communicating with him when he's not occupied in anything? for example when he's seated in a carseat? if he responded than he shld b fine. sometimes the child is too engrossed in something & won't respond to anything else. our girl is so as well especially when she's watching her fav tv program. we need to push her face facing us & she'll be "awake" & listen to us.

boys are relatively more active than girls. not forgetting some kids does speak much later tho not diagnosed as hyperactive so it's very subjective.

btw, does ur son understand whan u talk to him?

He does response if he is not occupied so I think he is normal and appreciate for the pointers.

He doesn’t seem to understand everything that I speak but he does for few and I think it is pretty normal.

Yesterday we brought him to the pediatric and the doctor given valuable consultation which we are putting in place.


In 2 weeks time we know the results and we need to meet with the pediatric again for feedback and consultation.

he's only 2, can't possibly understand everything. give him some time. my neighbour's son, think at least 3 yo, doesn't speak at all, still on bb language actually (but i thot theirs is something to worried abt).

necessary for ur boy to consult a PD? PD will only advise how to communicate & interact with him, correct? i thot the PD said he's alrite the other day? parents can b a little too panicking when seeing slight diff on their child when compared with others. that's y never compare. each child develop differently .

Hi Arulthas,

Have you considered baby-signing? Most kids will be able to sign before they learn to speak. It's pretty easy to pick up, and even if your son only uses a few words, every little counts when building communication.

ya I totally agree don't compare with other child. Each child development is totally different.

My 5 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD issues. He has been doing better in school, but still not paying attention, moving all the time, and not sitting still. I want to give him the best chance he can have in school.

ADHD, Autism and all kind of label, don't worry much about that. Beside the school, you also need to spend ample time with your son for him to improve further. Bottom lines don't give up. Give him the LTC (Love, tender and Care). He will be alright.
