Personal and Social Skills for a toddler.

Hello Everyone, I have a 23 month old son. I an facing a situation with him these days. We had gone to a party once and he was pushing a girl his age and trying to grab her hand so that he can get the same toy which she had. I was paniced by his behaviour as this was the first time ever he did this. After explainin ghim not to do so. Taking him away and playing with him with some other toy nothing mattered. He would after sometime again go to the same girl and do the same thing. I take him to Gymboree or other library programs and he has never behaved in such a manner. It kept me wondering about the situtaion and want advice from moms like you to guide me if I face this situation again. Thank you

just keep after him.. Go to as many playgroups and social places as possible.. My son did and still does it sometimes.. But, as we have been going to more social things and being with other kids HIS age is seems to be helping.. He doesn't have any cousins or other kids his age a while back so he played rough like the big kids did. But, since going to places that he has HIS age kids there and sees that you shouldn't play so rough. hope this helps.

i have the same exact problem with my 28 month old. he hasnt been around kids much so when he is he acts in that same manner. especially with my nephew who is 7 months younger. he wants to control the other kids and everything the do. the advise i had got is hang in there. take him to as many social gatherings as possible, especially around other kids and it will get better. good luck

Again, I say take him to as many social events,playgroups, church pinics (functions), family gatherings, to the daycare at the gym while you work out.. Just so he has some kids to play with his own age.. I am in the same boat.. My son is just now 3 yrs old and he has no cousin's around her to play with.. We do have friends that have kids his age and get together every once in a while.. But, a mom's group would be great for you and your son. You can get advice and share concerns about other things in life, while your son plays with the other kiddo's his age.. It is a great way to make friends for you and your son.. go to meetups.com might find a group in your area.. Also, MOPS is another good one. Good luck and hope this helps, lol..
