When my kids ask me to give them something I'll grab it and hand it over. But before they can grab it I'll move it slightly and say stuff like,"what happened? Did your hands stop working? Grab it it's right there!" Do they like it? No. Does it hurt them. Also no. Do I celebrate when they grab it finally? Yes.

When he acts up, and I’m holding something, I pretend to drop it on his head… very slowly, which results in a feather tap and me making a huge crashing noise with my mouth.

It’s quite interesting because it makes him laugh and yet he also seems to understand that he’s being reprimanded for something and tries not to do it again. (bonus points)
