Growing up and developing, our kids learn something new every day and do miracles. Sometimes little pranksters enter into a stupor and frighten their parents, starting to perform incomprehensible actions for adults. A fairly common problem for parents of 2-3-year-olds is that their child periodically bangs his head against a wall or floor. In this case, do not panic and get nervous, up to 20% of children of this age have this habit, and most often it occurs in boys.
Why does the child beat his head?
After observing the baby, having found out what precedes this action, you will understand the reason why the child beats his head.
Perhaps your child is so calm, for example, before going to sleep. Uniform swinging, rhythmic sounds or actions since birth are associated with him with peace and comfort. Remember how you rocked your newborn baby, singing a lullaby or pronouncing "ah-ah-ah, ah-ah." The child is trying, therefore, to return to that state of relaxation and intimacy with his mother. Embrace your miracle, sing to him a lullaby, read a book or just talk - your kid should know that for you he is the most beloved, long-awaited and that mom will always be there.
The child often beats his head just because of inattention from the parents. We all hurry somewhere, we are in a hurry to remake a lot of things, forgetting about our very own little man. The crumb, then, only tries to tell you: "Mom, I'm here!" Note me, play with me! ".
This behavior of the child can still be explained by an attempt to distance oneself from unpleasant sensations, for example, pain with teething. Feeling discomfort and impotence, he tries to shift his attention to another action.
One of the most common reasons why a child beats his head against a wall or floor is an expression of anger and anger. Most often, this is a reaction to the prohibition of parents. The kid is just trying to manipulate you, thinking that by feeling sorry for him, Mom and Dad will succumb to him. I would advise such attacks simply ignore, beforehand, of course, removing dangerous items from the attention zone of the prankster.
Summarizing, I say - love your children, deal with them, play, talk. Our kids need not only daily care and feeding, but also in infinite love, care and attention from their parents. If your child still falls to the floor and beats his head, can it still be small?
