[QUOTE="SRL, post: 150088, member: 701"] Hi Tezza, welcome. I don't know what's going on here but the usual rule of thumb is that if mom suspects something might be going on, it's a good idea to follow up on that hunch. Selective hearing can be just a phase a child without neurological issues can be going through but it also can be an early warning sign. Kids who have auditory discrimination problems sometimes will lock into one of the primary caretakers voices (sounds, inflections, word patterns, etc) and actually have a higher level of understanding when that person speaks than with other people. What typically happens with this pattern is that primary person winds up doing a lot of translating between the child and other people they encounter. Because you're seeing both weak eye contact and selective listening, I would suggest going ahead and arranging for evaluations in audiology and speech/language. Let us know what country you live in and we can give some direction there. Dropping toys can be absolutely nothing at all but a fun time for a child this age but it can also be a repetitive behavior that is a warning sign. Is he doing anything else with the toys: playing with them, lining them up, sorting them, etc? [/QUOTE]
