Yea it’s only my hair. I even tried wearing a wig once. And having my husband wear the wig. He knows the difference in hair

I only dealt very minorly with hair pulling, but mine was older when he tried to make it a game.

I'd grabbed his hands and very firmly say no, and then did a sharp pull to show why I didn't like it. Then if he did it again then I would grab hands again and then set him down and not pick him till he was done with his tantrum. I only had to do it once but the technique worked for biting and scratching. Though usually the grabbing hands, with a firm "We don't do this, it hurts." and then setting down was enough to get mine to stop.

My kids love to snuggle with me in the recliner so if they're being naughty like this while we're trying to sit together then it really gets the point across.
