What would be weird and worrisome would be a 21 month old child who could navigate a social situation with aplomb and who was not shy with strangers. That, my dear, would be very, very, weird.

Don't stress about it. My 4 year old started doing this with his teachers at school for some reason and has been for months. It's like his tradition each morning we see them. I honestly get kind of irritated with it because he's pulling on me when I have his bag and am carrying his little brother, but it works for him and his teachers play along. No big deal. Just a game.

OP here. Thanks everyone. I wasn't that anxious about it, just wanted to know if it was normal or not. I guess I don't have that much kids experience so figured I'd just ask

I've had people refer to it as "flirting" cause he usually does it around women, or "he's being shy" in an endearing way, but it kind of seems a little weird to me. He started doing it about a month or so, he's 21 months. Is this normal or just a phase or something?



Have you never been around any child ever? This is beyond normal - it's like a toddler rite of passage.


I'm the OP, I guess Ive never spent time around young kids like that Until now, that's why I was asking.

If a little kid that age did that to me in public I would thibk it was normal behavior for that age.
