First, be aware that he is not trying to hurt them. He is fascinated that he can cause a loud reaction in another person.
He is not to young for "time out". A two minute time out every time he does this will end it soon enough. The key is to do it every time, no matter what else you have going on. If he gets away with things sometimes he may decide to take the risk.

Well this may very as each child is different. What works for one child may not work for others. There are various ways you can stop your 22 month old boy from pulling little girls hair and I am sure you are going to be given lots of suggestions. I have found that examples speak louder than words. You should first start out by removing the child from the area. Keeping his attention and tell him that it is not good to pull hair of anyone. If this doesn't work then the example is called for. If he does it again, then tell him that being hurt or causing pain is not a good way to make friends. He will learn by feeling the same pain he would inflict on his play mates. As he is only 22 months his understanding of what consequences to his action is rather limited. So give him an example by tugging on his hair. This will cause him to understand the pain he inflicts on others. This seems to work wonders. Once he understands what this pain is, he Will understand you much better. Tell him you love him, he is a good boy and good boys don't pull hair. Give him a kiss on the head and then let him go play. He will now know his limits and understand how pain is inflicted on others. Good Luck

if he pulls a little girls hair remove him from the situation (eg stop him from playing where he is and remove him, a few mins later put him back so he can get on with what he is doing and if he pulls a little girls hair again, keep removing him and finally he'll get the message and this should help him to stop pulling hair.

He may be pulling the little girl's hair because he may be intrigued by it He probably doesn't have as much hair as her and he wants to check it out! Just tell him to not pull her hair it can give her big boo boos on her head. He will eventually stop.

well, I'm sure he isnt doing it to be mean, just curiosity. A baby is never to young to learn no. Tell him "no no" when he does it or goes to do it and have something right away to replace the "hair" with. I have a baby animal toy where you can pull the legs, because they are springy. He may just like to grab and pull and see what loud noise he can get out of sis! My toy makes noise when you pull the leg, I'm sure he'd love something like that! Good luck and tell your daughter to put it up in a pony tail for safe keeping. :)

Remind your sun its not nice to pull hair. Reward good social behavior. Your son is a good boy the behavior is bad. If he persists a one minute time out may be appropriate

Why is it, that each and each time a childs behaviour isn't 'standard' (despite it rather is) all and sundry desires to classification it as a sickness?! Bit off subject count number, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it makes me so indignant! Shes doing it for the attention shes getting. in case you nonetheless react, she will proceed to do it. As you stated, in case you forget approximately approximately her, it gets worse. decrease all her hair off, as you stated, or placed a bonnet on her as quickly as she starts off to do it, walk away and forget approximately approximately her. Dont even seem at her. yet another concept, i ask your self whether you will possibly be able to desire to get something to placed on her hair that doesnt flavor very constructive. i think of you will possibly locate that would artwork very with out delay. My son, who only grew to become 2, constantly had to have a sip of daddys beer - which of direction there became no way i might enable him. So, we filled the cap with some sauce we knew he didnt like and gave him somewhat flavor of that. Beer is now 'yucky' - hes by no ability needed a flavor ever lower back. attempt that out. suited of success!

To be honest, you'll probably be told, to put him on a naughty chair or something like that... if he is a little bugger like ours the only way to defeat him is to play him at his own game...
if he pulls hair, you pull his back (not hard enough to hurt him - but enough so he knows "well i don't like that") he will then associate that when he pulls someones hair, he has it done back to him - he doesn't like it, he won't do it.
it sounds cruel and it does make you feel so mean, but it is sometimes the only way to cure them (trust me!!) good luck!

tell him its bad and that it hurts other people.he's almost 2 so I know this sounds mean but trust me pull his hair next time he does it. Tell him that's the way it hurts others and it's not nice if he knows first hand what it feels like he's going to think twice about it. pulling hair is common I'm sure you'll be fine good luck
