Dcg, almost 2.
I’ve posted about her before (nap issues).

How can I teach her to keep her hands/feet/body to herself?
She’s not being mean, very rarely do I have any issues with her smacking/pushing and what not... she’s being seeet. She’s constantly trying to hug and kiss others, or rubbing them, like constantly has to be touching someone else.
I keep her two older brothers - they tolerate her touchy-feely stuff (they’re a bit that way too, -kisses on the lips, holding hands, snuggling, always hugging each other- it really seems weird to me - but just with each other, not everyone else -sometimes I can tell that she’s making them uncomfortable and bothering them. It makes my other 2 kiddos SUPER uncomfortable - try to stay away from her, tell her “no hugs” and avoid letting her get close to them.

I’ve stayed on her - “dcg, please don’t touch.” “Hands to yourself” and so on.
I’ve moved her away from the others and talked to her - just repeating that we can’t touch others without asking, others don’t like that...
I don’t want to “punish” her per say, but she can’t be hugging and kissing on kids that want it...
