How to stop my child's invasive behavior?

He touched a kid in the private area 5 times!! how can I stop that?! He's 2 years old!
he shouldnt be learning that!!

Dear drkeyez93,
A 2 year old reacts to the reactions around him. So if he touches someone and you say HEY DON'T DO THAT, STOP THAT then he gets a reaction from you. This is what 2 year olds live for. When the child does this you simple take the child by the hand and go do something else like colouring, playing with a toy etc. Don't make a big deal out of it; gently give him something else to focus on. This may take a few times since he is looking for your attention. Soon he realizes he isn't getting it and will stop.
Sue...good luck

that could be good advice, but at the same time maybe he's going to do it with or without your reaction and if thats the case, he'll think its okay to do that sort of thing if you just let him move on to another activity without so much as a yell and it could progress into an even bigger and more consistent problem. you should just make him stand in the corner, tell him once, calmy but firmly, something such as, You can't do that to other people. don't shout, and don't give him any more attention than that. This way, he's not getting a very interesting reaction out of you, just one that leaves him feeling embarassed and regretful and he also learns that touching the kids like that will get him no where but in a boring corner all by himself.

In a logical sense, that should snap him out of it.

Is a difficult one, my daughter, has done something similar but she is a little older so I can explain the reasons why it is not good behaviour to her and she can understand

I think the previous responses to your question are both good replies.

I thought my god is there something wrong with my child ,and then I thought logically , no my child is learning about his / her body, it is a learning process
Perhaps take your childs hand remove him/ her from the situation and tell him/her that is not what they should do.
