My son use to do that. When he does it grab both of his hands and say no. He'll grow out of it.

My 9 month old does the same sometimes. Besides, my mother taught him a song in which he has to touch his head, but not slap, but he likes more to slap his head... It's a bit funny, but I don't show him that. I simply say him NO, and he stops. but I will try teaching him to clap his hands...

My 5 year old still does this on rare occasions, he did it as a toddler. Its just a way to express himself. Teach him other ways to show excitement. Like raising his arms, clapping hands, jumping up and down, etc.

It is probably quite normal. However, I would watch the child closely for a while to be sure his hearing was intact.

Yes it's perfectly normal and one day he'll figure out not to do that anymore. Because it hurts. :-)

Teach her/him to clap their hands instead.

yep - kids do that sometimes - especially if it gets him attention!
