No listening to simple commands

[apples and bananas]

Thank you for your feedback. I will not say anything to the parents. All kids develop differently. it's hard to seperate them when you see them developing together every day. I'm working on him focusing on one thing for very short periods of time and repeating a lot of directions I give so hopefully he will catch on soon. It's just so frustrating to have someone act like they can't even hear you and it's not him refusing to do the request. It's almost as if he still doesn't understand simple words like ... stop... wait... slow down.. walk... run... down...

UGH! Oh well, we work with what we have.

Sorry, I should have read this before. Mine is like that too. If he has his back to me, it's like he can't hear me. For a while, I thought maybe he just didn't hear me or didn't understand. But one day, I caught him smiling while his back was turned. He was maybe 14 months. Ohhh I was mad. He was playing me. I have a feeling yours may be doing that. At 18 months, he definitely should understand these simple commands. My 13 month old does. Whether he chooses to follow them is a different story. JMO
