Patient's question:
Expert, helloMy son has been staring blankly at one spot without moving his eyes when he wakes up in the morning recently. He only responds when called. Is this a symptom of an illness? First follow-up question: He is 6 years old, and his appetite hasn't been very good lately. Nothing else seems wrong.
Doctor's answer:
If you notice that your baby often looks dazed and doesn't look at you well when you talk to them, as if lost in thought, then you should reflect on whether your expressions during daily interactions with your baby have been too stern, whether your gaze has been too intense, and whether your tone has been too domineering, making your baby feel scared and thus unable to communicate and connect with you emotionally. You should know that your baby focusing on looking at Mommy and listening to Mommy is a process that gradually develops and forms. And the establishment of this process requires Mommy to understand and master some basic methods of effective communication with your baby.
