is it normal for a 4 yr old to completely zone. i mean staring into space and doesnt hear a thing. I mean, I can be sitting right next to Gabe and I have yell to get his attention. I can get right in his face and it's like he doesnt even see me. I have never seen a 4 yr old do this. so now i am starting to wonder if its a late effect from his chemo or if this is normal.

is he devloping correctly?? does he speak well? it may just be that hes a day dreamer.. or it may be something more serious.. have him evaluated if u want

mine does that sometimes. I don't know if he is just not wanting to listen or spacing out. It should be okay. I would just ask your doctor the next time he goes in

developmental he is fine. his motor skills and speech are where they should be. i asked his ped about it when i took him last week, but she didnt know anything about the chemo meds he received. hopefully i will get his authorization # soon from tricare so i can schedule his appt with the oncologist and ask her about it. thanks guys

My 3 year old zones out every so often but it isn't THAT hard to get his attention.. I would just have him checked.. I'm sure he is fine :)

My oldest used to do that and they had him tested for seizures, he didn't have them but I know it is a sign for petite mall seizures!

the girl i take care of whose 5 now zones out constantly i can call her name walk in front of her, wave my hands in front of her and nothing, she does snap out of it eventually

it takes a good 2-3 minutes to get his attention. there are so many side effects to what he was given and the radiation. i just hope it's him being male and nothing serious!

My little sister does that when she is watching tv, but her dad is the same way. I don't know. If your worried about it call the doctor. I also have a friend that does that and she found out that she was having seziures.

Hey girl, don't worry about it too much. Even if it is a side effect of his chemo (probably not, but at least you are being realistic) little guys like that are so resilient. He may have problems right now, but his little body and brain will eventually catch back up and compensate for anything that was damaged. Either way, you know everything will be A-OK!

I'd say it's possible he's traumatized.

I don't know if it's normal or not but it doesn't sound good. I'd ask his doc.

i finally got his paperwork from tricare. so i called and we see his oncologist on the 23rd. so i am going to talk to her about it then. thanks guys
