Should I be worried about a 1-year-old getting excited and grabbing and scratching people's faces hard?
I'm grandmother of a 1-year-old boy. My son has ADHD and is home trying to get disability, so they let me take the baby every week and he usally stays about 3 days.
I am trying everything that I didn't do with my kids. I want him to learn and bring it home. I do not think the boy's parents parent very good (I don't want to get into that can of worms). So maybe I over analyze everything because I am so afraid of him also having ADHD.
He gets excited and grabs and scratches people's faces hard. He also grunts all the time, enough to make his face red and then he laughs like it's a joke.
He does not say any words yet, is this his way of talking? Should I be worried?

My daughter is 1.6 years old now. From my experience I can say, you need not to worry.

Kids world is entirely different and we can't go and see whats happening in their world. Their, language, activities everything will be different. When he scratches others face people will make some sounds know, that make him happy. Just cut his nails properly. One year old baby scratches will not be painful if nails would have been cut properly.
Children communicate very abstractly. Sometimes, they try to tell anyone who might listen to pay attention to their needs and they do it the way that is easier to them. Sometimes, the scratches and the pulling hairs gets them the wrong result and that confuses them more. Teaching a child not to hurt is very difficult, because hurting is not the effect they expect from their communicating their cause therefore that can be a lenghty and tricky guess.
