This YouTube video (How To Teach Your Child To Respond To Their Name, Pt 2) by Ming @ Agents of Speech gives practical advice on teaching children to respond to their name. Key guidance in this chunk: only call a child when you have a reason to do so, and make name-calling reliably associated with positive or desired outcomes (rewards), because repeated unrewarded calls will diminish responsiveness.
My second point is, do you have any reason for calling your kid? If you don't have a reason to call for a kid, don't do it. The reason they used to, you know, like, no hug, no whatever, nothing that they care about. Okay. And what do I mean by that? Everyone will not will cease doing something if it's not economical. What does that mean? So let's say if you keep on going to a place and you don't get rewarded, what's going to happen? That reward is going to diminish. And that's a very sad point to make, but it's kind of true. And the reason is that calling a name usually learn is that whenever the name is called, there's a good experience. You can just call them and they will respond. Right.
