DS doesn't tantrum a lot yet, luckily. Some times though when he's tired and he's told no, he gets PI$$ED and he lays on the ground and bangs his head on the floor! He doesn't do it hard, I think he learned from the first time he did it and he banged his head hard and it hurt. So I try to ignore him since he's not really hurting himself. I know that's what they tell you to do during tantrums because they're looking for a reaction, so if you ignore them, they'll stop. It does work and he does stop, but it's concerning that he gets so worked up that he's banging his head!
Is this normal? Am I handling it right by ignoring him? (unless of course he's hurting himself)
Re: banging his head on the floor during tantrums?!
DD does the same thing and she takes alot of tantrums! My nephews did this as well but they are now 2 and barely do it anymore. It's normal.
As far as if ignoring is the best thing to do, I try to do the same thing but DD will go on having her tantrum so it doesn't seem to be working for us.. so no advice there.
