[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not unusual toddler behavior.

Try giving him 5 minutes of "all in" time - lots of physical contact, snuggling, wrestling, etc... and then having him play more independently - or with an engaged activity that doesn't have physical contact (like coloring with you, or play-doh or something.)

Give him a solid dose of what he craves, and then teach him about boundaries on that time.  [/quote]

I'm going to have to go back and read my op because I think I made it clear it is the 4 year old NOT a little 2 year old doing this. Sorry if I didn't. But anyway I have something I call "cozy time" with him so that he can snuggle with me and it's just us 2 when the baby is down and read etc. but that seems to make him want even more. Ive been discussing boundaries and personal space with him. It's gotten to the point where I don't even sit next to him on the sofa much because he will find a way to rub on me or grab parts of me and I don't think this is normal at all.[/quote]
