What Causes A Child To Hit His Head When Upset?

My son is 2 1/2 and has been hitting his head on everything for about 1 1/2 yrs. everytime he gets a little upset about anything, even something as simple as dropping a toy can cause him to do it. His Dr. said to ignore it and he will stop but that is not working. Why would he continue to do it?

Hello,

The child has possibly found a way to express his anger. The best way to react to it is just to ignore it.
It doesn't necessarily show a problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
