Attitude changed, not change.

I am sure your grandson loves you.

What happened that his attitude change?
If he doesnt do it with anybody else, could it be something you only do?

For example, the hug - do you just go for the hug or ask for permission (very important for bodily independence)?
How often do you hug him?

I would try to avoid doing things you know that annoy him.

There is a big developmental leap between 4 and 5.
My kid went from super cuddly to "give me space".
From tons of kisses all day to a much lower number that I would like.

It is normal.

My grandson is almost 6 he and I have always had a very close bond up until the age of 4 he wanted me and no one else it was sometimes embarassing when someone else would try to hold him or be with him he would reach out for me and not want anyone else.
For about the last year he has had a very bad attitude towards me, I do not see him doing it to anyone else!
It is killing me....when I try to hug him he tells me : not now" if I ask him a question he says " you heard me" and lastly this week when I patted him on the head he first gave me a dirty look and then said " your annoying me" I am not going to lie I went home later that night and just cried
I LOVE my grandson and I do not want him to feel this way towards me.....if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.....
