Hey,
was hoping for some advice.
i have a beautiful little 14 month old boy. He is amazing. So lovely and a real big personality. He’s doing really well developmentally and started saying lots of words, including his new favourite ‘no’.
as he’s started to express himself more, he’s been really starting to hit me a lot but more than that he is constantly scratching me. And it hurts so much. I don’t think I really realised how much until my sister just came over and said how bad all the scratches on my face were. He does it when he’s very excited and giving cuddles and stuff but also when he’s frustrated. I’m constantly using a stern voice and saying ‘no’ when he’s does it and modelling kind hands. He will then stroke my face gently and say ‘aww’ but the behaviour isn’t getting any better. I’ve got at least 10 bloody cuts on my face. I’ve cut his nails but they seem to dig in deep when he scratches.
im not sure what else to do. And my face looks awful 😂🤦🏻♀️
