What's wrong with children who always hit their heads? Parents should pay attention to it

Many parents always find that their children always hit their heads with their hands. Parents find this feeling unimaginable, and they don’t know how strong the children’s hands are. If the hitting is serious, it may cause injury. Many parents are worried that their children have a tendency to self-abuse. So the following is for you to worry about why your children always hit their heads?

After research, it was found that the main purpose of most children tapping their heads is to relax themselves. You may find that your child sometimes taps his head rhythmically. Child development experts explain this phenomenon as follows: rhythmic movements can actually help babies soothe themselves and calm themselves to a certain extent. When a baby's ears are infected or the baby feels uncomfortable, the child may feel better by tapping the head. At the same time, tapping the head can also be used to distract himself and transfer his pain.

It should be noted that banging the head can also be a way for children to vent strong emotions. If the child is still young and cannot fully express his feelings through words, then the child will use his body language to express his ideas. Sometimes parents ignore their baby's movements, so the continuous head banging may be because the child wants to attract the parents' attention, but there is also the possibility that the child is banging his head due to autism and other developmental disorders.

If you find that your child hits his head from time to time, the first thing parents should do is to make the baby get enough attention from you. This will prevent the child from hitting his head because parents do not pay enough attention to him. If after you have given your child enough attention, he still bangs his head to get your attention, then you should take this behavior seriously. Don't blame or punish him, but reason with him.
