hi my 22month old has started banging his head repeatedly when he's having a tantrum or doesnt get his own way he also screams the place down and literally goes crazy his 3 older siblings never did this so i'm at a loss of why he's doing it, any help in helping me understand this would be great

My son is 18 months and does the same.. 

And he even smacks himself.. 

Me and his dad don't smack him so I haven't a clue were he learns it from.. its so frustration I understand 

I'm trying to put it down to a "phase" and hoping if I ignore he will stop.. :( it's horrible watching them harm them self !!
