Patient's question:
The baby is 8 months old, can crawl, can sit, can pick up small things. But he never learns anything, whether it's sticking out his tongue, pulling things, clapping hands, waving hello, or saying goodbye. He doesn't learn any of it, and it feels like teaching him doesn't make any difference. Clapping hands will make him want to be picked up. He never calls "mama" or "dada" in his mouth and is quite quiet. He recognizes names. If you suddenly take away a toy he's playing with, he will cry about it, showing dissatisfaction. I don't know if this is a problem. He doesn't learn anything, and it's driving me crazy.Doctor's answer:
The child is eight months old and will not clap hands or play in other similar ways. It is important to teach the child more during this time. If other aspects of growth and development are normal, there is no need to worry. Every child has differences in practice, whether early or late, so there is no need to worry too much! At eight months, babies naturally imitate adults in language. They can crawl to the bed but will not clap hands yet. Clapping hands usually develop around one year of age. At eight months, babies crawl; at nine months, they stand; at one year, they walk; at two years, they jump; and around three years, they learn to ride a bike. These are normal physical growth and development milestones. The above suggestions are in response to the question, "Will this affect the child's future ability to concentrate?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
