My son is 21m old and is constantly grabbing and scratching People faces. When he does it at home, I say no, redirect and then give a cuddle to say sorry.
He does not care about being told off at all, just keeps doing it. I have nursery ringing me most days as he is hurting other children and I really don’t know what to do.
Does anyone have any advice please? It’s making me really anxious the days he is at nursery.

Following as my boy is the same 😫

my son is 18 months and does the same…. Idk I try to say “gentle hands” or actually discipline him but he just thinks it’s a game.. I feel like it’s common but ugh I hate getting scratched in the face and I know it’ll be an issue moving forward if I don’t stop it now
