My grandson is 10 months old and there is some concerns by his doctors that he does not respond to his name. When you say ball he will go and get the ball. He knows what baby, bounce and dance mean but he does not respond at all when we say his name.

My daughter knew her name by this age, BUT...if the tv was on or she was doing something, she would ignore me when I called her by name! Will he NEVER respond to it, or sometimes? Work with the doctors though, of course they would know best....

He never responds to it. I have tried taping the ground next to him to get his attention so that he knows we are talking to him but this does not work. We have had his hearing checked and it is fine.

have you called him by a nick name my son didnt respond to his name until about 10 months old because i never called him by his name i always used a nickname and when i quit useing it about 2 weeks later he started to respond to his name more

We have always called him by his name and have not given him a nickname. There are 4 adults in the home and 2 other children so i know he hears it often enough that he should recognize it.

does he resp after 2-3 times or not at all? this was an issue for me to. from what i have read and my dr confirmed it that for some children they learn to resp as early as 6mths and others anywhere between 9-12 mths. are the dr concerned? a child should resp by 12mths of age and you will read that in alot of dev material. does he resp to all sounds? my son started around 10-11mths. even now, he is 14mths if he is engaged, it takes me 2-3 before i get his attention.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
