The issue isn’t boredom. It’s grandma getting in his face and backing him literally into a corner unrelentingly. OP you have to stay nearby and pull him away. When she does it to you , you have to calmly say stop and leave. She will get it after a while. It’s like training a dog.

I am not a hugger and I will not tolerate random relatives kissing, tickling or grabbing me in any way. There were a few who took it as their personal mission to push this constantly. Each and everytime, I blocked them, moved away and reminded them I’m not a hugger or kisser. I got pout pout faces, pursing up and smacking lips and all kinds of weird crap. I just said nope not doing it. They occasionally make a snide remark oh you aren’t a hugger but go on their way. Both my kids are confident in their ability to say no and not let others violate their personal space just because a weird relative wants to do it.[/quote]

When you do activities, it's not just about diffusing boredom, it takes away opportunities to "back someone into a corner". You move around, you do things. Issues like having to listen to a monologue, being backed up into a corner or fending off people who want to kiss you happen when you linger around, usually inside. Get out and about and these problems usually self-resolve. Nobody is going to force a kiss on you when you go about looking at the exhibits in a museum or go to a pool for a swim. [/quote]
