Head banging can be distressing for both children and caregivers, but it often serves as a form of communication. This video helps parents and caregivers understand why head banging may happen, identify possible triggers, and learn practical ways to respond safely. You’ll discover strategies to support emotional and sensory regulation, teach alternative ways of communicating needs, and reduce situations that may lead to self-injurious behaviour. Most importantly, the video encourages us to look beyond the behaviour and understand what the child is trying to communicate. Watch to learn supportive, child-centred strategies that can be used at home and during therapy.
