Ming from Agents of Speech explains why calling your child's name only when you have something positive to offer makes them more likely to respond. A strong relationship and play-based communication naturally build name responsiveness without forcing it.
Whenever you call your child's name, you need to make sure that when you say the name, you already have it on you because when they come over, they feel disappointed. The next time the effect of you calling the name is going to diminish in their mind. They're going to be thinking, what do you want from me this time? If you have a good relationship and you've been teaching your communicate and play and stuff, we don't need to teach it because it will come naturally. If your relationship is good, you can also build the relationship with your kid as a working relationship.
