hi
as your child is not responding to his or her name always ,it is better to consult your pediatrician once after lockdown is over.
at home,
keep talking with your child more.
spend quality time with your child.
play different games, sing rhymes and read stories with your child.
but please don't force your child and don't expect perfection from your child.
avoid to allow watching TV mobile or any other gadgets at this tender age.
