What springs to mind and I’m trying to implement more and more as my son gets older (currently 18mo) is Janet Lansbury’s idea of ‘sportscasting’. I.e.: “grandma is asking for a hug. It looks like you’re not sure about that. Maybe you could wave or high five instead.” I find that while my son is still so young, that this is a successful and non-confrontational way to communicate to the adult when my child may be uncomfortable.
