Question

My son is almost 18 months old and he doesn’t talk yet. He used to call ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’, but now he rarely does so and only occasionally calls out. He loves to walk and run around all day and doesn’t seem interested in learning anything. What should I do?

Answer

The baby’s cognitive abilities have improved, as they can now classify objects based on their use. Their thinking abilities have also enhanced, allowing them to generalize and draw simple shapes like squares, although they still need to work on details. At this stage, babies are more willing to explore their environment, and it’s normal for them to love walking and running. Parents can provide appropriate guidance and stimulation to help the baby develop holistically.
