Toddler grabbing

Does anyone else have any issues with their toddler grabbing? My little boy is 23 months old and grabs at me and Hubby; we've tried all sorts of techniques but to no avail; is it an age thing? Thanks

When you say he's grabbing do you mean he's taking things from you?

No he actually grabs us, like a handful of skin and pulls! Hmm

It's probably a phase but you just have to keep reinforcing 'gentle, gentle' and guide his hand away.

I hope so; we do that and I ask him to show me gentle and he does so hopefully it will pass Smile
