2 year old lets other kids pick on him?

My 2 year old grandson lets other kids hit him and take toys away from him. He justs sits there without saying a word or trying to get his toys back.I don't want him starting fights ,,but I want him to take up for his self. Will he grow out of this? What can I do to help him without him thinking it's ok to hit someone?

Answers:
He is very young to understand what really is going on. It is best to monitor that he doesn't get hurt and make sure he gets socialized, have lots of playdates and child interactions. My son was like that too, passive. I keep him in a regular child group environment and now that he is older, he will stick up for himself because we taught him by practicing taking away his toys and getting him to use words to express himself. He just needs practice in being assertive. You are wise in not teaching him to hit back. Check out this site below.

seeing as you are a grandparent--I would assume that you have raised kids before, therefore I would hope you would know the answer to this. The child is 2. I repeat, the child is 2.

At that young of an age I wouldn't worry about it. I'd be more worried about the children who are taking the toys away from him. Maybe if those children are corrected for their behavior, he will get the idea that it is not OK for them to do that, and learn to speak up for himself that way. That's just his personality. He's 2, and he has no idea what taking up for himself means. It's a good thing he instinctivly won't use violence.

Worry when he's violent. He's still a baby and learning how to deal with things. He's ok. Stop worrying and enjoy him. :)

My son is 2 and a half,and its only been the last few months that he has started to fight back because they learn the word MINE then you have to teach them to share Why are you allowing other children to take from your grandson
its not up to him to defend himself its your job or his mother and fathers job. Don't sit there and let another child bully him.

Cope with it, if not, try to stop him from asking those bullies to picking on him.
