They're in a grabby stage, I think :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-pulling-other-kids-hair#post-1144767 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 08:04:45 +0000 littlek 1144767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I don't think there is much you can do at this age besides redirection and explaining to your LO to use "gentle hands." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-pulling-other-kids-hair#post-1144753 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 07:55:47 +0000 Mrsbells 1144753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everytime she does it, say no really firmly and put her down right away, or put her in her crib away from others. and then tell them to do the same at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-pulling-other-kids-hair#post-1144750 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 07:54:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 1144750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's much you can do except to reinforce that *hands are not for pulling hair/ we don't pull hair* and to re-direct her to something else. It seems like maybe it is an attention-getting behavior? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-pulling-other-kids-hair#post-1144725 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 07:42:58 +0000 Smurfette 1144725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 7 months and loves to pull other people's hair. Her teacher said that other kids will be sitting on the floor playing and R crawls up behind them and pulls their hair. Sometimes so hard that the kids twice as big as her fall over. The teacher said yesterday she pulled out a little girl's pony tail and the girl started crying. :sad: </p> <p>What can we do? I don't want her "picking" on other kids. I tell her no when she grabs my hair, but I usually wear it in a pony cause otherwise she pulls on so much. </p> <p>She is so young, I don't think that there is much we can do, right? </p>
