My 9 month old boy is being very aggressive lately, is that normal?

Question

I don't know what is going on with him, but lately he likes to hit me in the face while I'm holding him. Sometimes he even grabbs my face and scratches. I look at him in the eyes and tell him "OUCH that hurts!" I don't know how to make him be nice to me. And I just don't know if this is normal, and if it is where is the agression coming from all of a sudden?

Answer 1

I bet it is because you are feeding him animal carcass! Show him how to care for his health, other beings and his planet by going vegetarian/vegan.

Answer 2

Akita's are primary as great shelter canines, Pits are bull headed (not unavoidably recommend). Lab of direction is lad returned. Then being at a take care of, without wisdom approximately how he exchange into taken care of earlier the take care of? 9 months previous would properly be knowledgeable... do not tolerate the aggressive habit. In his previous existence this would have been appropriate habit? Take your self to a doggy class. If and on condition that your doggy won't attack others take him. consult with the instructor of the class first could be appropriate. running shoes have specialties, some our not comfortable with aggressive canines.... remember never tolerate aggressive habit! sturdy success!

Answer 3

I would not let him be aggressive like that, although I would not try to stop his aggressiveness by being aggressive back (hitting back, biting, etc.) That will only teach him to be more aggressive. I would sternly tell him no. If that doesn't work, I would immediately put him down when he does something like that and tell him NO. He should learn pretty quickly that by being aggressive he gets put down and left alone. Touch him on the face lightly and smile and talk to him. Rub his hair gently and show him how to touch. He should respond. If he continues, I would continue to tell him NO and quit giving him attention when he acts agressively.

hi go to kids go ape click link below there you can find some very good books on parenting all the books on this site are very highly recommended
This book is not magic but a lot of parent just might think it is. Part of what Thomas Phelan's now very well known system work is that, whether one is cooking rice or disciplining children

Answer 5

I agree with a previous poster. My pediatrician told us to respond very firmly but calmly and slightly animated, "Mommy would never scratch YOU!" and promtly place ihim n the playpen. Children learn that actions get responses, and his action will get a negative response, which is that you aren't going to continue to give affection (holding him) if he's going to do such and such (which is scratching or hitting.) It won't take but a couple of times and you'll be surprised. Of course, never speak of it in front of him. Babies love to perform if they think hollywood is watching! lol :)

Answer 6

It happens. Maybe you disturbed something he was engrossed in or hes just found a new outlet for his emotions.

Is he unwell, uncomfortable, hungry or just grumpy? Is he agressive toward anyone else?

If he goes to scratch his face then move him away and show him its futile to be angry. (might help if you cut his nails if hes too fast)

Answer 7

It is very normal. He is checking out his world. You just need to let him know that it is wrong to do that. My son used to grab my hair and pinch me I would take his hand and hit it telling him no. One day he bit me and I lightly bit him back he never did it again.

Answer 8

He probley thinks its a game, My daughter loved to head butt everyone. Tell him No and put him in play pen or something so that he understands when he is going to be mean he's not getting held.

Answer 9

Anger didn't work... try crying like a baby (playlike).

Answer 10

YOU! are not the father lol
