Hello
I have some concerns re my nearly 2 year old ds. Similar concerns are also being raised by nursery. He's very hit and miss responding to his name, it's 50:50 if he responds to me, but at nursery they say he never responds. They also say it's very difficult to get his attention, unless something he wants to do like painting, otherwise he just ignores them. He does respond to me at home, although sometimes I have to ask more than once. Nursery are also worried he isn't following simple instructions, although he does at home e.g. get your shoes. His understanding does seem behind and he says very little, although he uses lots of gestures and points etc as well as good eye contact, reciprocates smiles etcs.
What I can't understand is why he will respond to me, but not nursery. This also happens with grandparents, he always wants to be with his grandad and does what his grandpa asks like getting his coat/drinks/toys but then acts as though his grandmother doesn't exist, completely ignoring her. It's seems like he just decides he's not interested in someone or something, and will just act as though they don't exist?
