My child hits her head like a new habit .. is dere anything to worry

A. It’s quite common for young children, especially toddlers, to develop habits like head banging or hitting their heads. In most cases, it’s not something to worry about, especially if it happens during moments of frustration, tiredness, or while trying to self-soothe. Many children do this as a way to release emotions or get attention. However, keep an eye on how often and how intensely your child is doing it. If your child is otherwise developing normally, responds to your voice, makes eye contact, plays, and interacts with others, it’s usually just a phase that will pass on its own. You should be concerned and consult a pediatrician if: It’s happening very frequently or very aggressively Your child seems to be unaware of surroundings while doing it There's delay in speech, eye contact, or social interaction It’s interfering with sleep, feeding, or daily activities In the meantime, gently redirect her attention, give lots of positive attention when she’s calm, and avoid reacting too strongly when she hits her head — sometimes strong reactions can reinforce the behavior.
