15 month hitting / hair pulling

hi all. second time mum here.

my little boy 15 months has started hitting and hair pulling at nursery: they've pulled me aside to tell me when picking him up the last couple of times. i have no idea where he's got it from as he doesn't watch any tv or anything. my first didn't start doing this until he was 2 so this is a bit new to me. is this normal at such a young age? they said he's quite aggressive once he starts and obviously i feel awful and responsible😥Up until the last few weeks he was always so chilled, happy and kind and now he's always frustrated and angry. he has been unwell though.

My LO went through a phase of doing this too, it didn’t last long. Not much you can really do at this age apart from let him know it’s wrong and reinforce kind hands which im sure you’re already doing.
