[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this on the Kids with SN forum?  This sounds like a discipline problem, not a SN problem.[/quote]

A 3 year old in a special ed preschool class with behavioral issues is a SN problem. Obviously.

OP, have you been able to track what kinds of situations precede the head banging?[/quote].                                                                                                   Most of the time it's when I'm not sticking to his schedule. If I make a stop after I pick him up from school instead of going directly home. When we get home from school I have to start on making his lunch while he watch me or let him watch TV. If I do anything else when I walk in the house like let the dog out before going in the kitchen he will get upset and bang his head. When things doesn't go his way. But the pinching and biting is random and done often.[/quote]

Make his lunch the night before.  He sounds tired and hungry.  I would let him eat first thing and maybe letting him take a short nap.  Make sure he's getting plenty of water b/c it's easy to become dehydrated.

Skip the tv.  Even though it seems very passive, it's actually very stimulating to the brain.  He needs some time to decompress.  If he doesn't want to nap maybe just sit with him and read some books.  [/quote]
