My two year old hits his head on the floor. Possibly reasons your preschooler may bang his head. Up to 20 percent of healthy children are head bangers for a time. First some reassuring stats. A toddler or older child with a head injury probably took a tumble ran into something or was hit by a heavy object she explains.

A child s head banging habit may last for several months or even years though most children outgrow it by age 3. Before kids are walking or cruising a head injury is most likely to be due to a fall from say a changing table. My son is almost a year and a half old and has started to bang his head on the wall or the floor when he s mad or frustrated. Head banging often starts in the second half of the first year and peaks between 18 and 24 months of age.

Typically head banging appears in the latter half of the first year of life and generally ends spontaneously by four years of age. Boys are three or four times more likely to be head bangers than girls. I have a almost 1 year old he is 11 months and will be 1 in two weeks he is always bumping his head on things.
