Grant wearing his protective helmet
By: Davida Grant
It’s groundhog day every day in my house. Every morning and every night before bed, my son Grant, you know the one I previously said “totally captivates me”, throws his head to the floor in complete tantrum mode. Why? Because he doesn’t get his way and to Grant that is unacceptable. Initially, I thought he’d stop the head throwing pretty quickly. While his head is pretty hard, the floor — our hardwood floor — is unforgiving. My head actually starts to hurt when I see it. And he isn’t bothered a bit. He doesn’t even seem to mind the resulting knots on his head, thankfully nothing serious. Last week alone, I received three calls from his daycare about this issue. I panicked. How much more could that beautiful head of his take?
So the researcher in me let loose and alas I found the solution. A helmet. I ordered it immediately and Grant wears it EVERY WHERE. Now when he throws his head back I simply look at him and smile. He doesn’t know what’s going on with me and boy is he perplexed. I actually think he took pleasure in seeing the look of fear on my face each time he threw his head to the floor. Well Grant, point for mommy. Now, it’s your turn. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
