I'm maybe over thinking alot and these probably are development things, but also traits of things too. - Head banging: When tired he will bang his head (I know this is a normal thing) but he also does it when he is frustrated, just at random sometimes and I have noticed a few ti...

Big Emotions

I’m not sure how to help my son regulate his emotions. When he gets mad or doesn’t get his way, he hits me. I try to stay calm, but I’m not sure what to do to help him understand his emotions and control his anger. My house is very calm so I’m not sure if this is just normal behavior. My son is 2. Anyone else stru...
