Jacob wouldn't hit his head on things, but he would hit himself in the head with his hands. He does similar things to Matilda, in that he will throw himself onto the floor and hurt himself because he doesn't look where he's going to fall IYKWIM. He will also kick and scream and put on the full show.

I know how hard it is when other people say that their children have never done it or don't do it. I've found going places with Jacob these past few months to be extremely stressful, as he seems to be the only child doing it, or people stare or pass seriously unhelpful comments!! (I could throw a tantie myself over some of the comments, believe me!)

I really believe that for Jacob it has been a developmental thing, and he has been hitting himself or throwing himself on the floor due to frustration - at not being understood, not being able to do things he wants to do (he always wants to be able to do things the very first time he tries them) and not being able to say things. I know you've read the other thread (I just posted a reply to your message) so you will see that this stage seems to have passed for Jacob *touch wood* I'm sure there will be plenty more, but we were well and truly ready for this one to pass as it has been 5.5 very full on months.....

So rest assured others have most definitely been there!
