Thanks to Mrs. F. G. ~, Arlington.)
To Mrs. c. F., whose infant son
practices head banging I should like
/ to quote an excerpt from Infants
and Children" by Frederic H. Bart
| lett, M. D.:
"a child may practice head bang
ing without having a tantrum. He
does it because he likes the sensa-
ton, not because he is angry. 1t
is interesting that these signs of
nervousness are less often seen now
than formerly. They are closely as
sociated with nutrition, and are
often seen in children who have not
been fed properly and who have
rickets. BY feeding cod liver oil
and orange Juice early and by get
ting the child on whole milk more
rapidly than was formerly done,
these nervous tricks have become
far less frequent. If your child does
any one of these things (head bang
ing, head rolling, nodding) or any
combination of them, you should
certainly 60 over his diet carefully
to be sure you are feeding him prop
erly
punishment and scolding are of
no avail. Ignore the habit, feed the
child properly and it will almost in
variably disappear of its own ac-
cord. II child practices head
banging in his crib. it may be neces-
sary to pad the crib to prevent him
from hurting himself, until the
habit is forgotten.
These habits themselves are not
serious. They are merely symptoms
in almost every instance, of i'm
proper nutrition"
hope this may shed some light
on the subject but would also sug-
gest that you speak to your own
physician concerning your child's be-
havior.
