Asher at 14 Months Week 4.

My toddler this week according to Baby Center:


Does your toddler sometimes hurt other children? It's not surprising — many toddlers act out in this way. The good news is that he doesn't mean to inflict pain on his playmates. When he pulls another child's hair, he's either fascinated by the reaction it provokes or copying another child's behavior. Making a fellow child yell or cry seems like great fun at this age. The best response is to gently but firmly stop the hurtful behavior and redirect his attention. The more he gets a rise out of you, the more likely he is to repeat the behavior.


Sadly and sometimes frustratingly, Asher's in this stage. He's starting to misbehave, throw tantrums whenever he's prohibited from doing what he likes. Often times, he's being called "sungit" because he has this way of pouting with two eyebrows meeting even while shouting when he isn't in the mood to coo back at you. Fortunately, he doesn't hit other kids naman, only, he avoids them whenever one gets near him or attempt to hug him. Glad to hear it's just pretty normal...but it surely is tough to handle such situations.
