My 2 year old ds has a lovely nature generally but went thro a spate of hairpulling with other children for a while. He's pretty sturdy and strong and it was a nightmare getting him to let go and obviously really painful for the wee souls he'd grabbed. Thought we'd overcome it or he'd grown out of it but now he's started grabbing out at faces. He hates going into his carseat and started hitting out when we were strapping him in but loves it once we're on the move but now he's doing it to other toddlers at our P&T group and other friends children. I'm so worried he will end up getting asked to leave or become totally friendless. We've tried time out, ignoring, naughty seat, turning snatches into tickles......He's our only child and is looked after by my parents (who he adores)a couple of days a week. He gets lots of attention, stimulation and affection and is very loving to toys and us (!) most of the time. Any advice or similar experiences?
