My 16 month old DD has recently developed a habit of banging her head hard on the floor / wall / bed when she doesn’t get her own way. I don’t really know what to do about it. I try ignoring her but I invariably end up grabbing her to stop her doing any further damage and saying ‘NO, we don’t bang heads’ but that usually results in even more tears.
It’s awful seeing her deliberately hurt herself. Anyone have any advice?
