Take him out to garden or just market, don't let him see too much TV or phone, engage him in activities. It will help in developing his brain.

Thank u all... Mayb am just too worried abt him... Iam a young mom.... And was with my mom till last month... From June, I am living alone with my baby... With my hubby coming back home at 12....after coming here, he drinks a lot of bm and sleeps only when i feed him bm... And he eats only if I show him rhymes on TV...sometimes i feel very guilty... If iam spoiling him and hindering his growth and development.... Sometimes in order to make him eat and sleep... I do what he asks for..iam totally getting depressed thinking of all these.... I try to change everything but in vain....

He is just being little naughty Anon, he is just 1.6 yrs. Give him some time, talk to him more. Encourage him in household activities, if you still not comfortable then discuss with his pead.

So is that Normal if he is not maintaining eye contact mostly when i speak? Especially while i talk... He turns when is dad or granny or maasi calls him... Bt mostly for me he doesn't... Bt he does searches for me when Iam out of his sight for a long time...

I think your kid is doing fine for his age. At this age they won't listen to you every time. You can't instruct them to do things. You have to motivate him by praising him. I clap for my kid when he do something good or obey as I asked him. But if he dosent don't force him to do so. And for speaking you should speak to him, he understands everything. His vocabulary is building slowly. Ask him to take the name of things he is asking for. Like glass, water etc. He will take time but he will learn. And in matter of reading he is just qurious to know what's this new thing and what is on next page, so that's OK you have to work according to him instead of asking him to work according to you. See which interest him most. It is time consuming process but it is worth it. You can search you tube for activity for your <u>kid</u>
