Pretending to hurt himself for attention

Multiple times a day my toddler pretends to be hurt for attention. I sometimes watch him out the corner of my eye and he will pretend to fall off his bike for example. Anyone else going through this stage?

Yeah my girl does this too, honestly I can’t help but laugh, She does stuff like pretend to get her finger trapped in draws or pretend to fall over I know laughing probably does encourage it but honestly it’s just so cheesy and put on I’m sure it’s just a phase I’m not overthinking it I just try not to react too much

@Georgia multiple times a day he pretends 😂 it is quite funny.

My boy did this until he really started hurting himself. He would bang his head on walls, doors and floors (lasted two weeks) - we completely ignored that behaviour so now he’s back to pretending.. It may have been due to his newborn brother as it was all very new 🤷🏻‍♀️xx

does he watch any youtube shows at all? my daughter loves cocomelon and bebefinn, both of which have a “boo boo song” she likes to throw herself to the ground and pretend she’s falling and then say she has a boo boo
