Toddler fakes injuries

My toddler keeps throwing herself on the floor and faking injuries to her knees and wrists when she doesn’t get what she wants… is this normal? How would you stop it?

YES same!! 😂 we also went through the head banging the floor phase, these things usually last for a few weeks then its done. We try to ignore it but with the hurting head banging we had to hold him and try to distract, with this dramatic falling we just ignore and carry on doing things we are doing When he’s bored of it i say ‘oh you’re finished, now lets go read a book’ something about ignoring the crazy and rewarding him when he finishes the tantrum Otherwise try distractions aswell, everything a phase I guess Good luck!!!

Oh my, the head banging sounds like an awful phase to deal with! yeah I try distraction sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t… it depends on how bad she wants something, thank you for the advice I’ll give ignoring a go see if it works haha xx

Following, cuz literally same. It’s been going on for a couple months now.
