Riya sometimes ignores me when I call her if shes concentrating on something, she will acknowledge ive called her by either saying huh or a little giggle. if I say it enough times she usually comes over, otherwise I usually start to play with her toys and she's straight over to have a play.

Sometimes AJ will ignore me or run if he doesnt want to do what I would like him to do.
Eg, AJ please come here, we need to change your nappy. AJ runs away. I'll ask again if not, I go get him.
If I ask AJ to put his coat on he will sometimes ignore me. I do as above.
For both, I then tell him what I would like him to do and why. Then we do it.

Most of the time, Oscar ignores me when I say come here. He doesn't have any health or behavior issues, he just chooses to ignore me. It's maddening but totally normal.

Mines a bit younger but he always ignores me yet listens to others. I know he can hear so that's not the problem. I just think it's a toddler thing. x

I don't have any advice hun, I have a 4 years old who doesn't come when I call him all the time lol x

It's called "selective hearing." Get used to it as it never ends.

Honestly, it's a toddler thing, it's a kid thing.

lol i think this is pretty normal and i dont think it ever gets any better. dont you remember being a teenager lol ahha x

 

[tasha41]

My LO does this to me all the time.. and I know I was doing it to my own mother just a few years ago as a teenager... It's frustrating but I think it's just part of them exercising their independence

I was just reading in a book that toddlers don't actually understand the concept of 'come here'!

Oh my oldest was so ignorant between the ages of 1 and 2 he wouldnt answer to anyone if he didnt want to. He still wont come to me now if i say 'come here' lol but he will acknowledge thats hes heard me which is usually followed with a very loud and firm 'NO Mummy!' Hes so cheeky.
