Positive ignoring: Head banging is just an amplification of early infant fussing.It peaks in preverbal years .I've never heard or seen a head banger with a real head injury. This likely caught on when he noticed it grabbed your attention.If you ignore it(don't lock eyes), watching him out of peripheral vision, for safety, it should fade over time.Teaching some sign language may help with the frustration.

Drawing attention!: If he is otherwise normal and healthy, prepare for the spoilable toddler with acknowledgement of his ability to know what "cause and effect" is. His behavior is an attention grabber. Ensure he is safe and allow him and if he continues, ignore his "drama.".
