If your little boy does not have other symptoms, other behavior problems beyond the head banging, I would assume that he's having plain old-fashioned tantrums, which is what a kid does to get attention, or because he is too young to handle his complex feelings of rejection, jealousy and anger. But boys may be more fragile than girls, suggests new research published in the Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal. And the battle continues throughout life, suggests Kraemer, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist. In addition, girls seem to be more academically fit than boys. In adulthood, men are more likely than women to suffer circulatory disorders, diabetes, alcoholism, ulcers and lung cancer.
Males are also more likely to commit suicide.
Kraemer asserts that his findings may have implications for the upbringing of boys. But recent findings suggest that in some ways, these adults may be onto something. According to a study, children and young adults today feel more anxious compared with their counterparts in the 1950s. Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
