Abnormal: Keeping hands closed in fists may be an indication of a problem with the nerves or muscles. This is something that you should consult a pediatrician about. The doctor can do a physical exam and determine what the next best steps are to fully evaluate the cause of your child's holding his hands in fists.

Clenched fists: It's unclear what caused your 2 year old to act like this. A thorough history and exam is needed to determine the cause and decide whether it is temporary or something more serious.
