the abuse needs to stop

SalasMommy

That's right it does!

My son is the victim and the baterer

HIMSELF.


he bangs his head on the floor, the wall, with his hand, on the refrigerator. Basically anything he can find..

He has bumps on his forhead.. I ignore it because i know he does it for attention but i can't help to say ouch!!!


Help anyone?

SalasMommy

Yes once he hits himself pretty hard he cries and does it again but softer @momING

@HomeBirthAdvocate omg now I'm scared he's 15mo he only does it when I tell him NO bc he is either doing something he isn't supposed to or for whatever reason

Its a soothing mechanism. My nephew and cousin both do it. They're both gonna be 8a this year. They've done it since they were babies

my son does this and hes only 11months old! i spoke to my health visitor about it who has told me to ignore it! she said he does it for attention and when i stop giving him the attention he will stop doing it!?

Ya, it wasnt for attention with my son either. I am not even going to say what led to it but he eventually stopped. he is 9 now and sometimes smacks himself with his hands.

My nephew will be 2 in july and he does it when he gets in trouble or told 'no" for ANY reason. In his case, all attention. Nothing stops him, either. He knocked himself out doing it on the concrete porch. My sil and bil keep a helmet on him because they are afraid he will get brain damage. So helmet and ignore is ehat we all do.... so far, seems to be helping a little. He knows helmet means punishment.
