See Your Doctor Now: Children this age sometimes exhibit self-stimulatory behavior eg. repetitious movements & even head-banging. However stereotypical movements of body can be associated w/ certain neurologic disorders; visual disorders could also cause abnormal head movements. Your child will require a detailed history & exam to elucidate if movements are of a benign nature. See doctor now for diagnostic evaluation.
