    Does your toddler do this?

    My little Moo has been whacking his head for weeks! He'll just slap himself on the side of his head. Or he'll headbutt our tile floor...

    He does it for various reasons, sometimes for no reason. Distracting him hasn't stopped him, neither has ignoring him or telling him to be gentle.

    I'm starting to worry, should I? Or is this something all kids go through?

    Liam does this sometimes - especially when he's tired. We tend to ignore it as it seems to be an attention getting thing..

    Oh yeah!

    She would chuck a tantrum and hit her head and knock it on the floor. She hasn't done it in awhile though, which I am thankful for.
