Help! I have a biter.
Any tips on how to get him to stop? He laughs when we say "no" right now, he thinks it's a game. He bit a little girl in daycare yesterday! He's 16 months, is that too young for time out?
Re: Help! I have a biter.
Jake only bites me, when he does it I just loudly say "No Bite". It's effective until he decides he wants to bite again. Jake's biting goes along with teething, when he's not cutting teeth, he doesn't bite.
You could try a time out and see how it works. Jake just got his first time out about a week ago and he's almost 19 months now. We only did 1 minute and we had to repeatedly put him back in the chair for his time out, he got really pissed off about it so I guess it must have had some effectiveness.
I was giving Alex 1 min. time outs by that age (although not for biting). I agree with the "no bite".
Alex bit me once back in the spring, in CVS, and drew blood from my arm. I still have the scar. It took everything I had not to go ape-sh*t on him, but I am pretty sure he got the point of how mad I was b/c he's never done it again. I did throw his Sponge Bob figurine in the trash since that was what "sparked" the incident....and it was the only time I've ever dropped the f-bomb towards him. At least I didn't spank him or hit him though. Everyone I tell the story too laughs, so it might be better to hear it in person.
Jake's only time out was over a floor lamp, he thought it was a game when I would tell him no when he was chewing on the cord. Eventually I got annoyed enough at constantly saying no that I just put the floor lamp in the basement.
I was the one that got my brother to stop biting. I bit him back... but I was 7 and I didn't like him.
I hope you can fingure something out. :-
For what it's worth, I don't think he's too young for time out. I know my sister did the time out thing with my younger nephew at that age.
