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.
