Hi. It's not totally abnormal. I have a daughter who hits, pulls hair and throws things when she is frustrated. She has some special needs and we recently attended a workshop on sensory and behaviour issues. What they suggested was to act as if it was not bothering you and ignore the child. When they calm down, you can give him praise for behaving and just continue as if nothing happened. Does this happen at a specific time--like when you want to leave some where or change activities? What can help with that is a transition. Some children work well with a countdown..."In 5 more minutes, we'er going to go home....in 4 more..." A visual timer can also help. If you are interested, you can see my blog about my daughter and what has and hasn't worked in parenting a special child here: http://delayedtoddler.today.com. Good luck!
