Would you correct this behavior?

Question

Nap or bedtime has been a struggle. This sleep regression has brought on doing anything but sleeping, including kicking the crib wall. 
I know I would need to be consistent if I started correcting it. And that honestly sounds like more of a power struggle, which I don't want to go through.
There is nothing on the wall that could fall and hit her. 
Yes, it's very annoying. But I have been ignoring it.
Would you ignore or correct it?

Answer

My girl does this sometimes and I ignore 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mostly because if I ignore, she eventually stops. If I go in there then she will keep doing it, and doing it, and doing it until I go back in there. Then the cycle starts all over

Answer

I would be intentional to spend some quality time with them before bed for at least 10 solid minutes.

Answer

As hard as it is to ignore, just ignore it. Correction at this age isn't beneficial, as you pointed out, it's just a power struggle.

Answer

My girl always does this for a few minute before going to bed. Ive never seen it as a behavior that needs correcting and just her settling down to sleep. Kinda like using the energy up in her legs?

Answer

We ignore it she gets more amped up like it’s a game if we go in. She forgets about it more moves on to doing this rocking herself thing she does. One time I kept going in to tell her to stop and she did it over an hour and never napped so I quit caring that she does it after that. I figured if she does it too hard and hurts her foot it’s a natural coincidence and she will learn not to. She already seems to be like her dad and learn the hard way lol

Answer

I ignore it. I usually go do something to distract myself. Laundry or dishes, or something to keep myself busy from focusing on the banging.

Answer

Yeah my daughter does the boycotty stomps too 😂 
I go outside and garden! I check on her through the baby monitor every 10 minutes till she’s asleep then I’ll come back inside

Answer

Ignore it.

Answer

I ignore stuff like that. I try to put myself in his shoes a lot, all of my babies shoes at whatever stage they're going through. 🤷
I could imagine a adult human being bored and trying to fall asleep doing the same thing. He falls asleep eventually. No need to make a huge deal about it. It's normal behavior.
