My son slams his head o nthe ground help

My son did this when he was about that age and I just ignored it. That is really all you can do. If he sees you not giving it any attention and it's not getting him his way he will eventually stop. He will realize hurting himself for nothing is not worth it. Hope that helps.

I guess the biggest pc of advice would be consistancy. When you tried letting him do it and walking away - does he continue ? How long do you try a method before trying a new one? IDK my son is only 13 months old but I have already figured out with his stubborn nature and tantrums that I cannot give an inch with him - if I give in 1 time it makes the next time 40 times worse.

the funny thing is my oldest brother used to do that. He would hit his head on anything and everything when he didn't get his own way. well my parents had a brick fireplace that the bricks/rocks were real rigid and weren't even... well my brother decided to hit his head on that fireplace and my mom said he had a goose egg an inch off his head and he never did it again. I guess he'll just have to grow out of it!

My son went through a lot of emotional tramatic events around 18 months of age. He started hitting his head on the floor, wall, and anything near. There really was not anything i could do, because he just had to work his way through it on his own. I just had to make sure he felt safe and secure, and watch for the signs. He got mad one day and I did not even realize it and he pitched his head forward at the top of our outside stairs and fell down the 3 stairs and smashed his head on the cement. I took him to the store and let him pick out a bicycle helmet that he liked and also made sure it fitted his head. From then on, he wore it every time we were outside around cement or concrete, and if we were near something that he could really hurt himself if he hit his head on it. He eventually grew out of this stage, and learned to vent his feelings in other ways. Good Luck!!!

I have an 18 month old son who does it for no reason. He bangs his head into the wall and coffee table. I know it's nerve wrecking when they do it. You don't want anyone to think you hurt you child. I am guessing it' s just a stage and a little boy thing. My daughter never did that.
