Explain to him that it hurts the next time he does it. And then if he does it again don't react to what he did and just "occupy" yourself with something else. He may be doing it to get a reaction out of you and if you don't react it won't be fun for him anymore.

You really need to keep those nails short. If your child is still trying to scratch (they'll do this and end up pinching with their fingers) then you need to start disciplining. I don't know if your child is still in a crib, but if they do that, put them in there. Or put them in their room for a period of time with no toys. Taking away toys can be a wonderful motivation for better behavior. If this keeps on, try seeing a behavioral specialist. They have probably dealt with this before and so will be able to give you some insight.

Hi, my son used to do this.. but my pediatrician suggested to just tell him no and tell him it hurts, and hold his hands not to spank him or scratch him back cause this makes him think oh this means scratching is ok. Or just simply tell him no and hold him and hug him. This worked well with him because i was spanking him and he thought he could spank me when he was mad at me..So try that just dont use physical beatings as a punishment for any young child, that hurts them worse and you worse in the long run because they are way to little to understand what they've actually done wrong.

The next time he does it, grab his hand and tell him "NO that hurts!". Don't grab his hand really tight, just a firm grip, and try to say "NO that hurts" in a stronger voice. Try to make you face one of hurt and sadness. Then walk off from him or look away. Even if he starts to cry (i know you will want to pick him up, but don't) Does he do it to anyone else? This is normal, be thankful he isn't trying to bite you.

Something tells me that the kid is a pain in the butt. He/she needs dicipline and I doubt that either of you are going to do it. Adopt it out or learn to make the brat behave. If you don't take control now, you ain't seen nothin yet. Wait until it is is 16 years old. Good luck

follow these rules.
number one say a firm NO
number two if they carry on threten time out
three, if they do it again, but them in a corner facing the wall, with no toys for two mins and just ignore them.
but on the first two wanings tell them if they persist then they will go on time out.
when they come off time out go to there level and tell them why they went on t/o and to say sorry.

Cut his fingernails while he is sleeping. If that doesn't work, try putting mittens, with ties at the wrist on him, when he scratches you.

Cut his/her fingernails or make him/her wear gloves. If that fails, buy a scratching post.
