The other morning I heard this noise -- Bang, Bang, Bang -- I got up to see if I could find out what it was; Then it stop and few seconds later I heard it again -- Bang, Bang Bang--- Then it stopped again, I waited; It went away didn't hear again. So I went back to bed because it was 7:30 am.
Normal day, at my house with all the kids. Addie wanted to play with dolls, Tashie and Sammie played with play-do, and Zebbie dragging all he dirty clothes around the house and step son sleeping on the couch. Like I say I normal day at my house,
Time goes by, and it was the middle of the day, around 2:30 pm. All of the sudden I hear that noise again -- Bang, Bang, Bang -- I heard it again louder -- BANG, BANG, BANG -- I swear it sounded like someone knocking at the front door. I went around the corner and what do I see....
Tashie is Banging her head on the wall, she hasn't done this for the longest time. I got her to stop banging her head, and she started to spin in circles in the middle of the floor. I was trying to remember the last time she banged her head on the wall, she was 19months old.
So I was explaining this to my hubby and he stated "Only Tashie will stop, don't worry about it." All I could think is I am worring about this. Why shouldn't I worry.
Today at work my step son called "Mom, there is a hole in the wall."
I thought oh great he had his freinds over and put a hole in the wall, why did he .... and in the middle of my thoughtsmy step son says "hey mom, you need to come home I think Tashie needs to go to the hositpal. She put her head threw the wall in the hallway."
I was in shock, Banged her head so hard on the wall to make a hole in it. She doesn't have any broken bones, or swelling. And the only thing the ER doctor told me was to keep her head away from walls and probally get a helemt for her.
My thoughts on the helemt is great more holes in the wall.... and Why is she doing this again??
And the teachers at her pre-school don't think she has any form of Autism. Tashie is a late talker, she doesn't like to social with other children, she doesn't like change, new people, or new place, she is really great with building things out of small logos and can figure out many computer games, the other thing she does sometimes she doesn't look people in the face.
Thanks for listening to me.

Do you have a developmental pediatrician in your area who could evaluate her? I'm not an expert by any means, but I would strongly suggest that you find someone who can give a proper evaluation. If your child needs services, studies show that the earlier those service begin, the better the outcome. Tell your pediatrician that you want a referral to have her evaluated. Don't take "no" for an answer. You know your child better than anyone, and if you feel that something is wrong, find out what it is--and the sooner, the better.
Good luck.
Oh my lots of things going on for everyone in your home, She might be sensing change (ex Sammie being sick) do you think she would bang her head if she had ear infection.. I agree with PP YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD not the teachers, you need to look else where for help.. you have connections at the children's hospital from Sammie.... maybe someone/anyone there can refer you to someone at the children's hospital...
Dolphin - I totally forgot that was a big change in the routine, I know she needs to get some help and her going to special pre-school does help her with talking however it has been over 2 years that she has gone to the school, and she is barely talking like a three year old, and she will be turning 5 in Dec. The last time I took Tashie to see someone, they told me that I was wrong and that the school if they feel that she needed help would refer to someone else. I thought that was wrong, the whole time she talked to me and not one word to Tashie. But at that time tashie was under the table and wouldn't even look at the lady. I feel so bad because all my engry has been given to Sammie that I feel that I have lefted Tashie slip up. Gosh, Somedays I feel like i am the worst parent on the face of the planet.
Id find a 2nd-3rd opinion or even more.. just start looking for specailist in your area and put your foot down, she needs to be evaluated better.. Dont give up there will be someone willing to help her.
It is so hard when you have two children that need you more then the other two and then Sammie has been having a bunch going on... Tashie's problems got set aside :( you are not a bad mother, you are trying your best with all that is on your plate. I would have prob done the same, but now you realize that she still really needs help, and its time to find it for her.. It will be a tough/exausting battle with doctors,school ect (everyone saying she is fine) but it will be worth it in the long run.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!! YOU ARE A GOOD MOMMY!!!!
Thanks dolphin ! I know it will be a battle up I know she will get the help she needs.
Teachers can not give a diagnosis of anything. Find a child psychologist or a developmental specialist. No matter what, get a diagnosis so she can get the proper help she needs to help her overcome and or cope. Without it the teachers and doctors do not know which direction to start to help her. If we had gone with the first teachers opinion on our sons diagnosis he would not have been doing GREAT like he is today. Hang in there Mama, it will get better but she should see a doctor that can diagnose her medically.
I have gotten a number from the children's hositpal for child psychologist, I am going to call tomorrow. It took forever to get the right number, you wouldn't think that it was hard to get help for your child. I mean holy cow if the child needs help it should be easy to find it right?
I hoping that I can get an appointment soon, but I bet it will be 3 months out, it will be worth the wait.

I'm sorry. I'm glad she is okay. Maybe you could take her to her Doc for a complete check up? It does sound like there may be something going on...even if the "Teachers" don't think so.
