Dressing, nappy changes, washing face, 'round and round the garden', 'this little piggy', socks, shoes, kisses, cuddles, physical comfort when distressed, his baby brother accidentally putting his foot on his leg.
Anything, basically.
He's sixteen months and just hates being touched. If i touch his arm, he will physically push my hand away. He moves away if his baby brother touches him in any way.
He's otherwise ok developmentally but he's adamant about most kinds of touching.
Anyone else have this from such a young age? He's such a sunny boy but he definitely knows the power of consent.
