Hello
Has anyone any
Advice on what to do when you have a constant headbanger? Both my girls (15 months) are happy and communicative little people. But one starts head banging the floor and crying when she is frustrated, and angry, or has been told off.They recently stopped having 2 naps and now just have the 1 nap, and it has increased - she does it more frequently and for longer - so we are thinking she is doing it both because she is frustrated and also as she is more tired. We are trying to ignore the behaviour, but at home it is difficult as the floors are either wooden or tile floor. Recently she has been inconsolable and so I have found putting her down in her cot to lie down in the dark, even though she is no longer napping at that time (e.g at 10am) calms her down. She mostly doesn't even go to sleep, she just lies there singing, happy once more. So this seems to do the trick and give her a rest. She is really active and go go go compared to her sister, so it's always her that we have to try and watch out for in terms of getting overstimulated very quickly.
I just wondering what else I can do, I'm not sure putting her down for a pseudo nap is the right thing, although it does seem to work for her.....? Does this kind of behaviour pass? Also distraction and cuddles or rocking doesn't work for her, as it can just tip her more over the edge by giving her more stimulus, or making her confined by cuddles.
Any advice? Xxx
