[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is very normal and healthy for a two year old to want frequent physical affection and touch. If he was home with a stay at home mom, then this would all be normal and good. That said, as a nanny, I think it is fair to draw some boundaries. Maybe try starting the day with 30 minutes of cuddles and reading books to get him started on the right foot. Then have him ask for a hug when he wants one and when he asks, be sure to give him a night long and tight hug. Throughout there day, carve out time to proactively give him some physical touch. With all of that, the constant grabbing should lessen. He clearly has a need that is not being met here.[/quote]
