My son is almost four years old now, and has been banging/ramming his head for years. He has developed a bald spot in the middle of his forehead which is starting to callous and turn into a knot. I'm aware it's for self-soothing or comfort or whatever, but we are starting to get at wit's end about it. He has put several holes in the walls over years (both drywall and plaster/concrete), and damaged furniture. His pediatrician is not in the least bit concerned despite it being one of our largest complaints at every appointment. It shakes the house in the middle of the night and is starting to be a concern. We have tried everything to curtail/mitigate this behavior, and I guess he'll eventually grow out of it, but how have you handled it? He does it too when angry or upset.Any other parents here dealt with this for this long? Do we just let it run its course? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2oTqZh6
