Look at what happened to Tanner at Daycare PIP!

StephanieL101

Poor T got bit on his face!  This is not the first time he had gotten bit but the first time by this child.  The child was sent home b/c he drew blood, but I felt so, so bad for my little man.  There is a plan in place (what ever that means) for the child who bit him since it wasn't the first time he did this. ( Please excuse how bad the pics are.  He really didn't want the pics taken but I thought I needed to have a copy incse anything goes wrong)

OMG...that's aweful!  Your poor little guy.  I hope it heals quick!

Oh my god...on the face! I'd be pissed about this!

The other child is somewhere between 18-24 months old.  I know kids this age do this but his face, come on.  I asked if he could be put back into the infant room b/c he had never been bit while in there.  Goodness they don't even have any  teeth!  LOL!

Oh my.  My little sister still has a mark on her face from a kid that bit her in daycare.  Kids are brutal.

Madilyn got bit like this and it looked awful the first day but went away quickly. 
 I don't understand why they go for the face.. I just want to hug your little one. That stinks!

What is the plan for the other kid?

They need to shadow the shark. This means what it sounds like, they have an extra teacher in the class room just for the shark. The teacher "shadows" that child AT ALL TIMES to watch for the behavior. I am sure it is, but I would make sure everything is documented. We did this at the daycare I worked at and we were able to slow the occurances of said shark. You can never stop it, but you can to slow the shark down. GL

Sorry this happend. Poor guy, I think he needs an ice cream cone. ")

Poor thing! I'd be so f'ng pissed!

ilovescottd

Oh my goodness, that looks very painful!  You're a good mommy to keep a cool head! I hope they can offer some assurance that he will not be bit again, two times!!

Dancingmommy

oh... your heart must be hurting. I know mine is for him. I have pictures of Christian with a nice bite mark on his face from when he was about 18 months old...... I remember how aweful I felt. 
We ended up switching daycares.

((hugs))

Poor guy! 

Biting is normal though.  I'd hate to be the parent of the biter, I'd feel terrible. 

Sandy09579

that's horrible!  I feel so bad for your little man

I bet the other kids mommy feels horrible too.

Mrs.MJP

That is horrible!  I hope Tanner is feeling better.  I went through the same thing with Lexi when she was in the "Pre-toddler" room - (they're all between 12 - 24 months in that room.)  Anyway, she was being bitten by the same little girl over and over again.  Unfortunately, the daycare didn't have the extra resources to "shadow" the child (I'm being nice with that statement - it's more like they didn't want to pay the extra $ to put an extra teacher in that room to stop the biting.)  Anyway - what ended up working is that the girl got transferred to the next room a little early.  In the 12-24 month room, she was the big shark in the little pond - going to the next room made her the little fish in the big pond if you know what I mean.  The biting stopped immediately.  So that may be a good suggestion to make.  It's actually worked numerous times with other children as well. 

Mrs.MJP

I should also say that Lexi and that little girl have been in the same room again for quite some time and there has been absolutely no biting at all.  (It helps that they can all talk now too.)

OMG! while deep down i know that a child of that age probably truly doesnt know anybetter, it would be amazingly difficult for me to restrain from ringing that other childs neck if and when I saw him.

I'm sorry you and your son have to go through this.

I hope your little man is ok!

jordanm

omg.  Poor little guy!

 I should add ( in referance to my response above) Christian was being bit by the same little girl over and over in which she happened to be the daycare providers daughter, so I'm sure it wasn't being handled in the matter that it should have been. It got to the point where he was getting stressed out and started biting himself.Soon after I noticed he started biting his own arm.... she bit him on the face and  it was the last straw and I just HAD to pull him out of there.,

Biting is completly normal with this age and I'm sure the other parent feels horrible...... but their child isn't the one coming home with a huge mark on their face, so I'm sure your pain is greater. 

Here's Christian picture.......... 
 

((hugs )) to you. I'm sorry this happened with Tanner.

DuffOliver

Hugs to you and your little guy. Jillie was a bitee on several occasions and we talked to the director and they moved her up to the next room b/c the biter was too young to move up. But I would definitely suggest that you talk to them about making moves that work for you/your child.

Would they consider moving Tanner up to the 2-3 year old room? Or if the biter is old enough the little fish in a big pond thing could help.

Unfortunately, it happens. And it happens outside of daycare! I used to bite one of my friends as a kid. Luckily, she forgave me.
