[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - yes this is for real.. why wouldn't it be?

I'm a first time mom and don't have friends around with children of the same age. When I do see similar aged toddlers in public settings they don't seem as naughty as my son. For ex: at the library most children his age stick to their caregivers, sit close to them, will play with a book/toy, but are generally not creating chaos. My son runs around snatching books out of other babies' hands, tries to climb on everything, etc.

Most of this behavior I would like to stop at some point, but I don't know if trying right now is pointless / it's normal for this age.

If it is normal for this age, do parents just do nothing more than following the toddler around and cleaning up /containing the damage?[/quote]

As other posters have said, It’s okay to redirect and set expectations with gentle and even firm guidance OP.
I think the PP who (uncharitably) asked “is this for real?” Is maybe reacting to the phrase “discipline” 
Your child presumably understands tones of praise vs tones of disapproval in your voice, and understands “no, we don’t grab toys” (as you hand the snatched toy back to Larla) and “yes! Good job sharing the car with Larlo!” (As he offers a toy to a friend)
Even if he doesn’t get the language, he will start to discern the tones.
And you start small. At home.
It doesn’t have to be combative or angry to get your ping across. You can be playful with your instruction, “uh-oh! We don’t climb on the furniture…”—as you plant his feet on the ground. But the message still needs to be clear and consistent.
