night time head banging behaviour in a 31month old boy

I have a concerned parent who has asked me for advice...I mentioned to her that on the two days he comes to us that he falls asleep by 11am every time....not a problem for us but it interferes with his nap times at home, Mum mentioned today that he has the habit of banging his head very hard on the wall just before he goes to sleep, she showed me a bald patch underneath his hair ( I had not seen it before) and asked me what to do about it! she said the health visitor told her to take away his comforter blankie! but ( and it seems obvious to me) its got worse! mum has now taken to getting him up and bringing him downstairs so that he does not wake his siblings! hence why he is falling asleep during the session! I have researched this condition and it seems its quite common, he has no developmental issues and is exactly where he should be for his age band....I was hoping some one here might have come across this behavior before, I read that supporting this love of rhythm is a good idea but will anything I provide during the day make a difference at night time? I have compiled a sheet of information for mum to have and it has lots of useful info on it about maybe trying a ticking clock, to sooth him instead of banging his head, and that he should grow out of it by the age of 3 and if possible moving his bed away from the walls....it says not to intervene and to let him do it till he is asleep but I think mum will struggle with this! any other advice would be really appreciated! thanks in advance x
