Hello everyone. My DD is about 17 months old and my mother watches her while I work and she told me that she wants to take her to a special doctor because she seems 'overly angry'. She claims that when she has a tantrum she throws herself on the ground and bangs her head on the floor or hits herself if not others. I personally have never seen her do that and think maybe she's just entering her terrible twos early. Me and my peers who are also mother's think my mother is over reacting. My nephew who lives with her had similar mini meltdowns whenever you tried to put him in a bathtub when he was about two. Do you think I should take her to see a doctor or should I just try and work with her and see if this smoothes out over time?

I too have a head banger...bruises on the forehead the whole works! Only when we say no to something he really really wants, like coming inside after playing outside makes me break out in hives knowing what is going to happen. Started at 19 months and
My DS does this too and our Ped said it is normal. I remember my little brother doing the same thing, and he stopped when he hit his head hard enough. He never did it again.
So I am taking it as a waiting game..I just don't react to the tantrum

Totally normal. My son used to do this and grew out of it around 2. Scared the crap out of me the first time he did it, but it's pretty typical toddler behavior. Once he realized it hurt when he banged his head, he started pretending to bang his head inst
