Eye-gouging 10-month old - what do I do?

[niceone1]

My 10 month old absolutely loves other kids. Unfortunately she likes to show her affection by poking them in the face, especially the eyes.

I say 'NO!' in a firm voice and push her hand away when she touches anyone's face, including mine, but she just seems to see it as a game.

my little girl is the same she is just one!!!!! we too think its a game!!!!! sorry thats no help

My DT's are 9 months and are always poking and gouging each other in the face. DD has her first teeth, so is always trying to 'eat' DS too. I do what you do nicone1-a firm 'no' and move them away from each other.They will often go straight back to do it again, but after another firm 'no',and moving them apart again,they normally stop. I am hoping that by consistantly doing this, they will both learn. Don't know what else would work tbh.
