I have a 19month old toddler who pulls hair of other children. She's been doing it for months, it started as a sort of affectionate thing, when lifted up by mummy, auntie etc she would put arms round neck then pull hair while smiling.
She now pulls hair of other mindees and i cant leave her for a minute. Last week at toddler group she did it to 2 older children. The parents noticed that she doesnt do it in an aggressive manner.
I've tried saying No in a very stern voice, cuddling other child who is usually screaming madly. I've sat her in buggy or highchair while explaining it hurts and its unkind. Luckily i only have her one short day a week, so can shadow her here and at toddler group.
Has anyone had this problem before?
