16 Month Old Granddaughter Biting Herself

Posted by momtotwo__2 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 17, 08 at 23:13
My 16 month old granddaughter has started biting herself when she is angry or frustrated. The latest time left a bruise. She also slaps herself in the head repeatedly (not hard enough to make her cry).
I am worried that this could indicate a psychological problem. Does anyone know any facts regarding this behavior in toddlers?

| What does her Pediatrician say. He/She can refer them to a child psychologist, if necessary. Hopefully, it's just a phase, and if handled well, she'll stop on her own. |

| Please be sure to ask about sensory integration disorder. It sounds like she might have some sensory issues. You can google sensory intergration disorder and you will find a wealth of information.Your pediatrician can refer you to an Ocupational and Physical Therapist. |
