It is normal. My son is going to be 2 next month and he went through this too. When he tries to headbutt put your hand up and cushion the blow and sternly say "NO".

Hi! I'm going to echo most the other posters and say, yep, it's normal! I've already asked my pediatrician about it, as my 2-year-old has been doing it for several months now (as well as hitting, but that's another story...). He does it when he's mad, frustrated, doesn't get his way, can't communicate, the list is lengthy. And it Hurts! LOL I tell him no, and if he continues, I will tell him he hurt mommy, and stick out that bottom lip, try and work up a few tears to teach him empathy, to start making him understand that his actions affect others and right now his actions hurt. That is starting to make him come around, and more often than not now, he will look at me a minute, then say ,"Sorry mom". It'll pass, so I've heard from the Dr.

Your son is fine and he will grow out of this behavior. I know I have four boys and one girl. All my sons went through this stage and my youngest is 2 1/2 yrs old and my daughter who is going to be 5 next month was the same too. As he gets older he'll do more strange this to get you worried about him like jumping off things to being fearless of any kind off bugs but you just have to let him know the consequences of these things like he'll get an ow-we if doesn't stop.

It is defiently normal for that age to head butt, pull-hair, bite,etc. What I did when my son would head-butt me, I would just ignore him and I would not play anymore with him and eventually he got the hint that mommy did not like that. If he was doing this to another kid, I would ofcourse make sure the kid is ok then put all the toys up and put him in his room and just explain to him that it is not nice and that you are not happy with him and walk away and he will eventually understand that it is negative attention that he is getting. Just always try and give him positive attention excepts when he misbehaves. I know, kids are very different and hard to deal with. Just to the best you can!! Easier said than done right!!!(hahahaha)

She's a toddler, chica! wait some better years previously you commence laying down that iron fist of your's! lol. the appropriate element you may do is distract her with another stimulating pastime. She's nonetheless in that toddler mode the position she needs to locate her surroundings and each and every thing round her. She needs to experience, to the contact, to sniff, to style, to verify, to carry close, to wander, to locate! So appropriate element you may do is distract her with another stimulus to get her interest. The better you enable her locate the failings round her, the better self belief and resilience she will benefit. in case you lay down the iron fist of guidelines (no this, no that, undesirable toddler!), you're in fact eliminating from her self belief and vanity. You gotta enable her attempt issues and make her own mistakes, and enable her see the international by her toddler eyes! enable her advance and advance from adventure and the impressive existence round her. in case you do not choose her doing something, then distract her. in case you choose her to eat her peas, you could overwhelm them and conceal them in her apple sauce! If she nonetheless would not eat her peas, properly, wager what? she gained't going conflict through from malnutrition if she would not eat some vegetables at this age. Constipated, perchance, yet she'll study as existence unfolds round her! lol.

I'm not a doctor, but I think it is not. Ask your family doctor, explain to him/her your concerns for your child

He is probably suffering from "Zedanitis."
