My Son Head butt's everything?

Question

my 10 month old son keeps on head butting things, not in a nasty way but he does it to everything, especially his parents, any ideas on how to get him out of it???

Answer 1

Just put a bucket on his head. Use a plastic one if you want to limit damage to walls and furniture. Or use a metal one if you want to slow him down some.

Answer 3

Ignore him. The more attention he gets from it the more he will do it. As long as he isn't harming himself it doesn't really matter. As for doing it to you just keep alert when close to him or hold him in a way that wont allow him to head butt you. He will grow out of it. If you're really concerned and this doesn't work mention it to the health visitor.

Answer 4

It's a habit that somehow comforts him. One of mine did that. In fact he headbutted himself to sleep at night in the cot up to age of two; in fact until I got him a real bed! He would head butt the cot so violently it would start to move across the floor! I guess you could try to distract him when he's headbutting; interrupt the movements in some way. He's very young yet, and it is only a phase of development. It will pass.

Answer 5

my cousin did that when he was 9 months. We tried everything to get him to stop. Then thought that it cant' be hurting him, why'd he do it if it did? We realized he gets attention.

We all ignored him (hard to do because we didn't want him to hurt himself) Also we couldn't go out because he'd head butt in public too and gets attention that way. After a couple of days, he stopped.

Answer 7

Did he watch the match on tv when Zidane headbutted someone in the chest in FIFA world cup 2006?


If he did,That must have caused him to do that.

Answer 8

If he does it hard enough, he can break his neck. I know a guy who did while he was drunk and spent a year in a halo brace.

I use to beat my skull on the cement floor. They just walked out and left me. They say I'd stop with out attention.

Is attention a factor in your son's actions?

Good luck!

Answer 9

Answer 10

My son did this same thing and he just grew out of it. It was just a stage/phase for him.
