Need Help with 9 Mos Old Son

First this is perfectly normal, second he will NOT really hurt himself, he will quickly learn what toys really hurt and what toys it's just kinda fun to do it with, my oldest used to bang his head on the floor and there have been several posts on here about such behavior. but like any other behavior in a child so young it's all about cause and effect, obviously make sure he has soft toys or at least toys wihtout sharp pointy edges for right now, and let him go, he'll get tired of it sooneror later and he'll be jsut fine.

S.: Well, this precious one is surrounded by love - all those siblings truly love him right?! Anyway, make sure that you train them to make sure that he doesn't hurt anyone -and keep those dangerous toys away from him. When he's behaving himself, make sure that you're reinforcing this behavior!! Enjoy him - take him outside - get out of the 4 walls - there aren't those dangerous toys out there - he'll love it!! For one, you really can't ignore this. He must understand from you that there is danger involved and he'll then understand that this is wrong and stop doing it.

God bless you,

In your situation I would say the best thing to do is pray. Jesus I pray Lord that you would protect Caleb and keep him safe. I pray that you would surround your angels around him always. I pray that you would give S. the words of wisdom and what to do in this situation. I pray that you would speak to her heart and tell her what you would do in this sitation. I pray that she will be encouraged in your word. In Jesus name I pray amen.

My daughter still does this. It comes and goes though. When she learned that she got lots of attention when she conked her head, she did it ALL the time. Non-stop! She had a little bruise on her forhead from banging it all the time. It was never hard enough to hurt, just enough to get our attention (she's an only child). Perhaps your guy has learned the same thing? Since he has attention all the time (how wonderful of your other children btw!) when he's left to his own devices, he does what he can to get more attention! Just ignore it. Perhaps give all the kids some 'alone' time each day. Maybe just 15 mins or so. He'll get used to being alone in no time.
