Can i please get experiences with 14 month old toddler ( boy in particular) and how they answer to their name. Mine rarely answers his name but if I ask where is is daddy or ask him a question he turns right away...he is social lots of eye contact and interacting with people does babble and says maybe 6 words. will point things out and bring things to me....should I be that concerned about responding to his name? TIA

Theres a difference between rarely and never. Probably not something to be concerned about if he is responding to you asking where daddy is, can bring you things when asked, point and say 6 words already by 14 months.
