The server at my favorite Mexican place agrees: my 2 year old should punch the kid who keeps scratching his face. She made the international sign for fisticuffs when she saw his face and I told her what happened. This is why we eat here — the solid parenting advice.
And no, this isn’t sarcasm. I really do want my kid to fight back, although I’m telling him push away whoever the serial scratcher is. Punching seems a little aggressive.
