Hi T.,
When my daughter (thumb sucker-different thread) was 2-3 y/o, she's 9 now, but she would, for whatever reason, climb on top of whatever-couch, coffee table, chair, and just throw herself to the floor. My mother came over one day, and saw all the bruises and SWORE I was beating her. When I told her what was going on, she called me a liar and if she saw 1 more mark on her, she was calling DCFS. Well, a few weeks went by, my mother came over for a visit (thank goodness those are few & far between...lol) and notcied she had a black eye that was still healing, well, when she was done yelling at me, she went to the phone, as she dialed, Amanda came bouncing out of her room, climbed up on the coffee table and threw herself on the floor. She got up, did it again. My mother just stood there with her mouth hanging open. She hung up the phone...lol But anyhoo, Amanda did finally grow out of that by the age of 4.
Now my 18 month old, Olivia, when she gets mad or is told she did something bad, she pulls her hair. She just started doing this a couple of months ago. She doesn't always do it.
