Repeated Head Banging

cchill01 · October 2010

DD has started throwing her body against her highchair repeatedly. She also repeatedly hits herself in her head with her hand. She does all this pretty hard. The whole time she's smiling and talking and listening to her voice vibrate. I was thinking that this was normal toddle type behavior, but DH is worried. Would you be concerned?

DD has been doing this for months, also in the highchair. Her pedi said it is completely normal, even if it looks horrible.

I read about this somewhere. It's normal. Weird but normal :-)

DS hits himself on the forehead repeatedly! Hard, too! I don't know what's that's about. I grab his hand and tell him, 'Don't hit yourself, silly!' and he babbles on and does it again!

Odd . . . I don't know why they do this??? I read something about rhythm?
