He is only 18 months and is v gorgeous,does v sweet things like wave when we leave anywhere, gives lush cuddles etc etc.
But he has this other side where he bites (not me, other children), and pulls hair etc. This usually isn't when he is having a tantrum (thankfully they are few and far between). It looks like he is doing it to get a reaction and its completely unprovoked, although sometimes if the 'victim' is his sister it may be borne out of frustration.
Thing is, he is so young, I feel there is very little I can do. But I am not sure if this is the wrong way of dealing with it, that perhaps I should 'nip it in the bud' so-to-speak.
But is he too young at 18 months to know any sort of consequence?
