Hiya! Just to say im having the same problem with my son. I thought i was the only one as none of my friends say they have this trouble. My son is 2yrs 7 mths. Every time he gets frustrated he smacks himself in the face and bangs his head on anything! My health visitor just said ignore him but its so hard when you know he is hurting himself.

Now his speech is improving its starting to get better. So my advice is to try and ignore it, And look out for signs to see what he is trying to tell you.

Good luck!

Role play/pretend correct responsives. Also exaggerate things when you do them. He has to learn the right behaviors, just like he did walking and imitating you on speaking, and it takes practice.

I would suggest talking to his pediatrician about the problem.

show him your the mom. BUT never hit him!!!!!!

you can make him happy by saying this like i love you, or want ice cream.. lol,or you can yell at him and tell him to cut it out!

You son is frustrated and cannot control his emotions so the only way that he can deal with this is to hurt himself. Dont worry about this as its normal, he will soon stop when he knows that it is sore.

This isn't very unusual, and I have even read that this sort of behavior is more common among boys - head banging is one of the ways boys often react when they are upset.

As long as there is not any real physical harm being done (and it doesn't sound like there is,) I would just try to NOT give him alot of attention when he does it. If you always react and run over to stop him, it will only give him another reason to do it (for attention.)

It's probably just a temporary way to handle a tough situation, and he will soon learn to handle his anger/frustration in a better manner.

Let him do it for about a day. He may stop and get used to it.

urm im no expert on children, and im young myself but maybe try and praise / award him a lot when he does something good, and make a big deal out of it.

NEVER give him as you said "chocoloate" to stop him from acting this way other wise he'll do it more thinking he can get his own way.

Take controle and make sure you let him know ur the adult and what u say goes :)

do give him alot of hugs though haha

he has stress

He's just frustrated, head bangings similar don't worry he'll grow out of it eventually it's usually because of their poor communication skills at this age - a form of attention seeking tantrums! Ignore what you can %26amp; try helping him with the social side by stepping in if another child stresses him out %26amp; dealing with it fairly - stop worrying he's normal. My 2 year old trashes the place in the same situations you mentioned!

My son hurts himself when he is angry or when other kids fights to him?

I'd say he is overstimulated and stressed by being unable to express himself. I'd suggest taking a step back and calming things down as much as possible. Try to avoid people and places that are hectic and noisy for a while. Organise more quiet pursuit's sit down with him and give him a hug before anything kicks off.

i think you might want to take him to the doctor. while it is normal for children to have tantrums and very often this does result in them hurting themselves, actually trying to inflict pain upon himself could, and i will stress the could here, be a sign of autism. but without seeing your son i wouldnt know for sure!

My son hurts himself when he is angry or when other kids fights to him?

I would tell him "when your ready to calm down and ask me nicely then I'll be ready to listen." Then walk away. No audience, no show. Same as with most temper tantrums.

If other kids are arguing with him then you need to teach him proper ways to interact with other children.

My son hurts himself when he is angry or when other kids fights to him?

when he does this, I know its frustrating for you and it might even get you mad, I suggest no matter what your feeling at that moment you hug him, tell him you love him and not to do that, explain to him his behavior,talk to your pediatrician and let her know whats going on. also plan a special event for him ,something he really would enjoy doing,but let him know he must behave or it will be can celled, maybe you can make up a chart and every time he does good he gets a star,every time he misbehaves he gets a blue face,tally them up and it will determine if he gets his special event, good luck

He is feeling frustrated and doesn't know how to deal with his feelings. (One of my sons banged his head on the wall!)

Pick him up and take him to a different room, or a different part of the room, and distract him with a toy. Don't mention his behaviour, just talk to him normally. He should grow out of it fairly quickly.

My son hurts himself when he is angry or when other kids fights to him?

My son is 6 and he still does this, if he can't get what he wants he punches himself on the forehead over and over, with some force too, i have to restrain him.

I've just read some other comments, and i wouldn't reward this behaviour with cuddles or an ice cream, because he'll eventually start doing this purpously to get treats or nice attention.

My son hurts himself when he is angry or when other kids fights to him?

Let him continue as I judge by him doing that he is not causing great harm to himself is he? if he was hitting himself all the time then maybe you would need to step in, but this is all part of early childhood, experiencing and releasing emotions out in different ways. I have seen many young children do this, with a person interfering more it may have a knock on on effect and they may do it even more. Slowly as he gets older he will be able to deal with his emotions in a better way :)

I know how you feel. My son (now aged 8) used to do this when he was going through the terrible twos!

He used to headbutt walls, doors etc if he couldnt get his own way, and i was heartbroken. It was horrible to see, and he always had bruises on his head.

The best advice i was given, was by my health visitor, who told me that everytime he started headbutting something coz he couldnt get his own way, i should ignore him, walk into another room, and not pay him ANY attention.

I had been putting up wuth my son doing this for ages, so in desperationi tried her advice. EVERYtime he started headbutting the walls,etc, i walked into a different room and ignored him.

Within 2 weeks, he had stopped doing it.

NOw, dont under estimate how upset you may become, as for the fist 3 days, icried my eyes out when i had walked into a different room...but IT WORKS!!!!!!

Good luck!
