My two year old just had a tantrum because she wanted to be carried home from the playground. She banged her head on the concrete and gave herself a big bruise on her head. She did this twice before I relented and carried her home. She was so angry she was shaking. Is this normal or does she need professional help? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op: yes, her reactions seem more "intense" than your average toddler. Then I googled "self injurious behavior in toddlers" and research associated it with psych problems. Should I be worried? [ Reply | More

It is normal and be firm in not putting up with it (to hell what anyone watching thinks). The sooner you show dd that it is not to be tolerated; she will start to use other methods to express herself. [ Reply | More
