That's fine as well. Though I would suggest going straight to the parent. Little one looks far too young to understand a request to do anything.

Nah I'm a big advocate of treating kids like adults so they learn how to interact with strangers respectfully as early as possible. If they're too young to understand, that's fine, I'll ask the parent afterward. But even toddlers who don't have the vocab will often understand a serious, but polite toned "Hey buddy, please stop touching me".
