As a psychotherapist, I understand your concerns about your son's behavior. While every child develops at their own pace, there are a few aspects to consider: Communication Skills: It's positive that your son is engaged with learning videos and has acquired knowledge of shapes, colors, and numbers. However, the fact that he doesn't respond to verbal cues at times, unless prompted with a raised voice, may warrant further observation. Social Interaction: It's common for toddlers to become absorbed in activities like watching TV or engaging with educational content. However, limited social interaction and failure to initiate communication or ask for basic needs like water could be indicative of challenges in social development. Sensory Sensitivity: Consider whether your son may have sensory sensitivities that affect his responsiveness to verbal cues. Some children may be more responsive to auditory stimuli when it's heightened, such as a raised voice. Developmental Milestones: While your son demonstrates knowledge in certain areas, it's essential to assess his overall development across various domains, including social, emotional, and communication skills. Consulting with a pediatrician or child development specialist can help evaluate whether his behavior falls within typical developmental milestones for his age. Observation and Support: Continue to observe your son's behavior and interactions over time. Encourage opportunities for social engagement and communication in various contexts. Additionally, consider consulting with professionals who specialize in child development if you have ongoing concerns about his progress.

From my experience as a behavior therapist and psychologist, I've seen that children develop at their own pace, and it's not uncommon for them to have unique communication styles and preferences. It's great that your son is engaged with educational videos and shows intelligence by recognizing shapes, colors, and numbers.

Hi Thanks for reaching out. Your son is going to turn three soon and your concern is he does not interact with family members. He is intelligent and he has good cognitive skills. It is important to know how does he interact with people outside home. Your son seems to be a quiet kid. If you are worried about him not interacting with anyone at home consult a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist will be able to determine the reason for him not interacting with anyone at home. More information is required to determine the reason for your son not interacting with anyone. Book an appointment with a psychiatrist to assess his communication skills and overall development.

Get him to an expert psychologist to rule out the psychobiological development. Get a psychological assessment for SLD. It can be delayed speech or reaction due to various neurodevelopmental changes. It needs to be treated in a holistic approach. It can be well treated with homeopathic medicine and occupational therapy if required.

I understand that your son is intelligent, watches learning videos, knows all the shapes, colours, numbers and identifies them. He doesn't interact with the family and doesn't ask for water nor responds if you call him normally at 3 years of age. I would suggest you consult a special educator or am institute that tests the kids and helps you, guide you as to what to do next. They will also help your child.

Hi. I appreciate you talking about your concern. As per given information, it's great that your son is active and shows an interest in learning from educational videos. However, his limited responsiveness to verbal cues and lack of interaction could be cause for concern. Every child develops at their own pace, some aspects of his behaviour may need further evaluation. Difficulty responding to verbal cues and limited interaction could be signs of language or social communication delays. It's necessary to consult a professional Psychotherapist or a pediatrician for a better treatment plan.

Hello It’s great that you are reaching out for support. Please seek for a professional help.

These issues can be a cause of the underlying problem and getting a check up physical and neurodevelopmental will both be beneficial. Noticing early signs and taking actions on time will benefit the child. You are doing a great job as a parent by noticing and seeking expert advice though I know this ambiguity must be very distressing. Hoping for things to turn out well. Takecare.

The issues that you mentioned about your "going to be three" son do not seem to be worrisome. Yet I would suggest you to take them up with his paediatrician who will be able to assess his general pattern of developmental milestones and guide you on what needs to be done right now.  This consultation will help you in regaining your much needed peace of mind too.
