The hair pulling 😭

I honestly, started doing it back to my son. Not in a way that will hurt him but in a way that it honestly does hurt his ego. I had to have other reinforcements help me with this because I’m personally not good with discipline but after a month it definitely died down,, I would also try to repeat that it hurts and if I can tell the difference between an accident and an ill intent, I would say that’s not nice in a stern voice and he seemed to pick up on it well!!

I just keep my hair in a claw clip 😂. My guy is never malicious about it — he’s just a curious little dude and it’s a new texture.

My daughter pulls my hair too, and I always keep it tied up, yet she still grabs and pulls it. I’ve noticed that my hair catches her attention, and she actually likes it. This is completely normal. Try gently removing your hair from her hand without startling her. Hopefully, she will stop over time.

Any reaction, even a stern no is still a reaction and that's exactly what they look for. They're sensory seeking at this age and trying things and seeing what happens. That's why she did it a second time right after. The best way to counter this is no reaction and just take it away with a neutral look on your face. No smile. No frown. Just straight faced and say nothing. Just take it away and distract her with something else. A toy, a book, another thing she never really plays with that's baby safe. My kiddo likes plastic containers and the baby wipe package. 😆

I've been having to wear my hair up because of her pulling it. My head is sensitive, though, so it's a constant putting it up and taking it down all day. I tell her no and take my hair out of her hands, and I offer her toys. The same goes for when she picks up things she shouldn't like her brothers shoes or her plastic diaper sleeve. I offer her and distract her with toys. This stage will go away eventually.

I put a bonnet on!
