In the one article it was because of being mad. You need to find out what makes the anger and eliminate it not just cushion the head. My son does this too but he is perfectly happy when doing it. He is just discovering his head just like they play with toes when discovering their toes and feet. I also read in a reputable parents type magazine this is a perfectly natural part of growing up. -- Tim Lippold ih 4e414 x3480 ihlpj!lipp
