Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and am pleased to be a member. My wife and I wanted some advice as we recently noticed some behaviour which are not present in our 15mth old son.
Red Flags, doesn’t do:-
Respond to his name when called
No eye contact when being fed or changed
Does not point
Does not include you in play or glance up for eye contact
Does not share toys or bring them to you to
Does not engage you for help if he cannot reach something on a table like a drink
Very little eye contact generally
Does Do:-
He will wave “bye bye” if we prompt him
He will engage with eye contact and claps if we sing “wind the bobbin up”
He will approach members of family for a cuddle unprompted
He will kiss on the cheek if asked
He does babble and also says “Mama” and “Dada” and sometimes repeats “good”
Does find peekaboo funny and sometimes waits in anticipation
Does raise hands when wants to be picked up
Smiles if you smile at him
Sometimes follows a point to see what we are pointing too
I know it’s difficult without seeing him but I really wondered if we should be concerned with the doesn’t do’s at this stage or is it still quite early and will they develop.
Your experiences and advice would be appreciated.
Kindest regards,
