The wee chap has started grabbing me, just grabbing me anywhwere he can, arms, chest hair (have a bald patch), amd covered in little 6 months old sixe hand prints, and he giggles uncontrollably when he does it.
Whats the best way to tell him it hurts, without emotionally scarring him for life???

Say "NO" loud and firm, put him down and break eye contact for about 30 seconds to a minute.

That is what I was told to do but to be honest I can't remember if it worked!

Ive just realised youre a man! (unless you are a women with hairy chest!)

I was given the same advice as colditz, I think i used to pretend to cry although im not sure how well it worked.

am not a man, there should be a comma between chest and hair.
Although stuff I was drinkin last night would put hair on your chest, note to self mmust check

he giggles when i say no!

Opps sorry

As little consolation as it will be, at least you know you're not alone - my DS laughs hysterically after slapping me, and then gets bent over double from laughing too much when I say NO.

I'm just going with perserverance [fixed grin emoticon]
