Child not responding to their name? Paediatrician shares 7 developmental signs parents should know before age 2

Dr Ankit Desai, paediatric anaesthetist and founder of Children's Anaesthesia Services, shared 7 developmental signs parents should observe before age 2.

Signs include limited eye contact or reduced social connection, delayed speech, and not responding to their name.

The doctor emphasized that a delay in one area may not necessarily signal a developmental concern.

Early development is often revealed through subtler behaviours that emerge before formal concerns are raised.
