They Are Curious About the World Around Them Babies are fascinated by the things, movements, or sounds around them as they're experiencing or witnessing them for the first time. Their brain develops as they take in the new sights and they're studying their surroundings that's why they stare.
Children as young as 2 and 3 start to be aware of physical differences, like skin color, and are curious. This curiosity builds their understanding of the world and the people around them. Staring is a sign of this curiosity, not rudeness.
Staring and smiling is a sign of your baby's healthy social and emotional development. Your baby might stare and smile because they are happy to see a familiar face, such as a parent or caregiver, or because they are trying to engage or communicate with someone.
Blame it on curiosity
Like children and adults, babies are generally curious beings and tend to stare as they get to know you. They are also naturally drawn to faces and might be attracted to interesting features like glasses or a bushy beard.
Give them a really big smile and open your eyes wide. Many will suddenly become shy and turn away. For those that are left, pull funny faces and they will pull funny faces too. Now they are not staring at you, because you are interacting.
1 Eye Contact: Avoidance of eye contact may be a charactersitic behaviour of a child with ADHD or Autistic Specrum Disorder. They may look as if they are ignoring you, but some children find making eye contact really difficult.
NOPE.. not rude.. i don't think its rude for children to be curious about something or someone.. children are often curious about everything they see..
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Impulsive (hyperactivity) symptoms include fidgeting, excessive talking, noisy behaviour and interrupting others. Hyperactivity symptoms may remit as the child matures but the inattentive and staring symptoms often persist.
You may notice her glaring at you without a trace of a smile on her face, which implies she's upset or annoyed at you in some way. Other signs that she's upset include giving you the silent treatment or speaking sarcastically (and sometimes with deliberate rudeness) when she does talk to you.
When children like some people more than others, it's not really because those people are more trustworthy; it's because like everyone else, children gravitate towards people who are happy and confident. People who believe they are attractive are usually more happy and confident.
Somewhere around 2 months of age, baby will look at you and flash a full-on smile that's guaranteed to make your heart swell. Doctors call that kind of smile a “social smile” and describe it as one that's “either a reaction, or trying to elicit a reaction,” Stavinoha says. In other words, baby is interacting with you!
An absence seizure causes you to blank out or stare into space for a few seconds. They can also be called petit mal seizures. Absence seizures are most common in children and typically don't cause any long-term problems. These types of seizures are often set off by a period of hyperventilation.
A child can avoid eye contact because they: Are fearful of or dislike the person who is attempting to make eye contact. Have a hearing problem and be unaware that they should look at someone. Feel a general sense of social anxiety or shyness.
Men: If a woman seems focused on your face and chest, she sees romantic potential. A gaze that wanders from your chest to your hips to your legs reveals that she's interested in you—but it could either friendship or something more intimate.
If a girl avoids eye contact with you, it can indicate that she's interested in you or not. Also, it might mean that she avoids eye contact generally with people or doesn't want a conversation with you. Regardless of the reason, checking her body language and talking to her might tell you why she avoids eye contact.
She Smiles at You
If she turns around and smiles at you, she's definitely interested. Approach her right then and there if you're interested too. Usually, only a confident, out-going type woman would do that.
Symptoms of ADHD tend to be noticed at an early age and may become more noticeable when a child's circumstances change, such as when they start school. Most cases are diagnosed when children are under 12 years old, but sometimes it's diagnosed later in childhood.
Don't stare.
Staring at people is not only rude, but it also makes people feel very uncomfortable. If you don't catch her eye, she may be uninterested or preoccupied. Even worse, she may be offended that you are staring.
ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, but they have some of the same symptoms. And having one of these conditions increases the chances of having the other. Experts have changed the way they think about how autism and ADHD are related.
Excessive talking is a common symptom for kids with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), who often have trouble inhibiting and controlling their responses.
You could be staring off because you're bored, or it could be a sign of a deeper issue. If you find yourself daydreaming a lot, and have trouble on focusing on certain things, you may be suffering from adult ADHD.
Autistic people often prefer to view inanimate objects over people interacting. This atypical gaze pattern may help clinicians flag autism before other traits appear. The average age of diagnosis in the United States is 4 years.
