Hi My 17th month old son strikes his head on floor everytime when he demands something.It may sound funny but I am so much worried as he strike his forehead and back too. I couldn't get any solution for these and used to slap him.But after slapping too he doesn't change his habbit. Should I consult a paediatric or what else. Kindly suggest me.

this is not right. and i am sorry to say this, but as a parent, slapping a 17 month old is definitely not right either. your baby is having trouble understanding and expressing emotions, but as an adult, how do you bring out your frustration by hitting? it will only aggravate your baby and not solve anything. please start getting patient and talk to your baby each time the anger comes out. speak in a soft tone and tell your baby that it will only hurt him if he bangs his head. discuss this with the paediatrician. in many cases, infants and toddlers display severe anger issues where they are unable to control their emotions and end up hurting themselves. pediatric counselors can help take care of the same, so do get in touch with a professional if nothing helps.

Hello, I think, when your kid throws a tantrum, ignore him. Leave him and do your regular errands and behave as if nothing is happening. Sometimes, kids do this to seek attention. Later, when he is over that moment and all is fine, talk to the kid and make him understand how his behaviour makes you sad. Talk lovingly to him and tell him that if he will not behave like that you are going to treat him. Initially you can do like this, and each time he does't behave like this when you expect him to do so, appreciate him. Applaud him controlling himself in front of other family members as well.

Hey, I know your heart skips a beat seeing the possibility of your baby getting hurt, but I guess you need to hold yourself back and ignore him. This is a phase in many kids and this may be one in him. Please try and ignore it and this is only improve if you let him be at that time, and go to other room and do not be in front of his eyes. When he would know that his act is not receiving any attention then slowly and steadily he is going to stop doing this.

i will say do be a little patient, even though i can feel how worried you must be getting, and ignore your baby for that particular moment. sometimes, babies do this to gain attention, and if you react at the tantrum, they will do it even more. instead of waiting for such a reaction, start showing your love and attention to your baby at all times. let your baby feel that you are always there with him. play with him and spend good time.

My son when does something which he shud not do, I go to him, start talking with him in a very soft tone and gradually pick him from there and leave him either with books, toys or just divert his mind without saying no or being stern. It helped me. U may try so
