I have a problem with my 14mo old hitting, scratching and pulling hair. He doesn't do it to be mean, but he will just out of nowhere hit or scratch me, dh or his siblings then ususally smiles are laughs

It is also a real problem when we go to playgroups or functions with other children usually his same size or younger. He will go right for them and hit, scratch or pull their hair. I have to follow and run after him constantly. At times like this I think it has become more of a game to him to see how fast he can get to them before I get him, because he will do it and then look right at me and smile or laugh. Now, I am following him around, but he is just so fast. Which doesn't give me a whole lot of time to visit with other adult (which I so need these days!) One little girl at the playgroup we belong to cries when she sees him

Like I said I follow him around and have him sit next to them and play and tell him nice soft touches and show him nice soft touches. What else can I do??? I am at a loss. I feel like all the other parents think I am a terrible person and don't want to be around me or my son. However I feel we need to keep bringing him to these types of things, but not at the expense of another child getting hurt

My DH does wrestle with him and my other children, but obviously doesn't hit scratch or be aggressive with him. I just don't know where he gets this from. I am sure it is just a phase, but I want it to be over NOW!~!~
Please help me I am open to all suggestions!
