So my twins are self made head bangers. They both bang their heads on purpose. Sometimes out of frustration because they aren't getting their way, or to rhythmically sooth themselves. O bangs her head on the floor when she is annoyed by one of her brothers or over tired. W bangs his head on doors and walls when he wants someone or something on the other side of them. If we make a big deal out of it and repeatedly tell him, "No bonk-bonk," he does it repeatedly because he realizes he has our attention.
I heard that this isn't uncommon. I also heard that only about 20% of children do this. Somehow, even with those odds, I have TWO. I hope that once they become verbal, this will end. I pray that this is just a phase. They have both had bruises due to this habit. I promise you all they are self inflicted. I hope this isn't a sign of what their temper tantrums will be like in the future. Lord help us if this is minor in comparison of what is to come! Should I go ahead and invest in buckets or helmets now?
