Sometimes he would ignore us completely.
Sometimes we'd say something, and he'd say "Huh?"
Did I model that to him?
And then recently we discovered he could not really hear. Thankfully there was nothing wrong with the ear drum or the stirrups etc.
It turns out the eustachian tube linking the ear and the back of the throat can get blocked up.
For children this is more common because the tube is less steep, and drains not so well, compared to the adult.
So for the time being I've been given the lesson of patience. How great it is for character building.
I've been quite short with Sam, thinking he's just been blatantly non-compliant.
Sorry Sam.
