I think my child is aware but sometimes they seem to ignore me or won’t acknowledge me or make eye contact when I speak to them. Should I be concerned?

As heartbreaking as it may seem, sometimes children do not place importance on responding when we call them by name. The ” Cookie Test ” is a simple test to determine whether the child is “aware” of what is going around them is called the “Cookie Test.”nnIf a child is inconsistently responding to their name, I suggest asking them if they would like a cookie or other favorite food. Often the child who is not responding to their name will very quickly respond to the question of “Do you want a cookie?”
