Toddler grabbing others faces
Hey mama's. I have a 2.5 year old boy. He is home with me full time so the only child interaction he gets is with his little brother and strangers at the park and malls. When he sees other kids his age and size he tends to get over excited and grabs and pinches faces. I just am at a lost on how to get him to stay doing it. any advice would be great
My son was having this issue as well- he is in daycare full time and was getting pinched and grabbed in the face so he picked it up. Most times- it was another child trying to get his attention so that’s what he started doing. We decided to teach our son to ask/ indicate for fist bumps or high fives when he sees a child and wants their attention. We also told him about how pinching hurts and try our best to redirect him to ask for a positive social interaction before the behavior we don’t want happens (hard to do but we try). I hope this helps :)
