Question
A 2-year-4-month-old child initially interacted with his mother but later stopped. Although the child often says incoherent words, he is lively and intelligent. He is willing to kiss his mother and even give her things to eat, but why doesn’t he call her “mom” anymore?
Answer
Based on the information provided, the mother can try to interact with the child through questioning, such as asking, “Where is Mommy?” and encouraging the child to point with his finger as an answer. Over time, the mother can change the way she asks questions, such as asking, “Who is this?” and encouraging the child to respond verbally. Parents should always talk to their children, regardless of whether they understand or give a correct answer; the most important thing is to inspire the child’s desire to express themselves.
