Helping Children To Concentrate

Hi, I wonder if anyone has any tips or suggestions.... please??? We have a child at pre-school who is 47 months old and been attending us for 13 months. He has always caused me a little concern, and I have spoken to our SENCo who thinks his behaviour is more to do with genetics - as his mother behaves in a similar way.. well now mum has asked me for some advice on his behaviour and I just don't know what to say! basically his behaviours are:- he finds it very hard to concentrate even for 1 minute, he turns around and looks behind him when you try to talk to him. he can't follow simple instructions and often gives a really inappropriate answer to questions (did you enjoy playing in the water? answer: eleven) he doesn't respond to his name (but doesn't appear to be a hearing problem) he copies the way other children talk and move but doesn't seem to be aware that he's doing it! (mispronouncing letter sounds even though we know he can speak very clearly) if a child asks a question he will ask exactly the same question he calls my name and when I answer he just calls again... and again..... and again...., I can answer each time but he's not listening to the answer! when he's collected and I say 'mummy's here' he ALWAYS answers 'where?' even though she is standing in the doorway! however, mum is a bit the same because when she is talking, she's looking all around, doesn't wait for the answer before she says something else... and TODAY, she called me by totally the wrong name and looked really confused when I corrected her!!!!!! While it is hard to say..... I'm actually finding it really annoying (a feeling I am very uncomfortable with) and am just at a loss to know what else to do or say... If anyone has any words of wisdom, suggestion, advice, I would be extremely grateful. I am not experienced in this area so it is all a bit new to me... and without SENCo support it is difficult. Thank you!!
