How can I help my toddler listen to instructions and speak in sentences?


My toddler doesn't care to listen to instructions when engrossed with toys. He doesn't respond to questions.

I'd say take the toys away when your trying to speak with him, let him realize that he can have what he wants back as soon as you get get what you want, his attention and response . Also, being around other kids like in school really helps, I'm not sure how old your little one is but if he's too little for school, a mommy and me reading class may help him too to learn to sit quietly and listen and respond (with laughter and such) like the other children are. Hope this helps :D
