My brother had a phase like this when he was around 7. My mom would bear hug him from behind and hold him while he was trying to hurt her, kicking and screaming and she would just tell him she loved him and she’s there for him and everything is going to be okay until he would calm down. There’s so much going on in a child’s mind especially at that age that it can be overwhelming. I get overstimulated and I’m 24 so just imagine a 4 year old dealing with that. Restraining a child isn’t a form of abuse. It can be a way to save the child from themselves in certain situations. See if you can get her to calm down that way and then you can try talking with her to get to the root of the issue. If she’s overstimulated and mom is “putting her away” or yelling or whatever, the bashing her head into things may simply be because there’s too much going on in her brain that she has to deal with all by herself and she doesn’t understand any of it. Good luck mama ❤️
I had severe anger issues as a kid! Which turned into self harm when I wasnt taught a better outlet than hurting others Turned out I had autism with a pda profile that went undiagnosed until I was 23 (: Not saying that’s what you’re dealing with; just chiming in with my personal experience to maybe open avenues you hadn’t thought about.
