Mom's - ? re: biting

B2 bites me. How do I get him to stop?

I tell him that is not nice and we don't bite people. Then he laughs at me.

The biting is very far and few between and until last night he has never bit anyone but me. He bit B in the hand last night.

Re: Mom's - ? re: biting

  • we took 2 fingers and tapped R's mouth and said very firmly "no bite" and then we would remove him from whatever we were doing. 

    R bit only a few times and it was out of excitement, not anger or frustration.

  • Part of me wonders if his biting is due to excitement. Most times we are playing on the floor/tickling or "wrestling" when he does it.

    last night he bit me on the inside of my leg and it hurt like a mo-fo.

  • Jake bites and pinches me, his is a sensory thing though, so we give him something that he is allowed to bite on (a piece or therapy tubing) when he bites or pinches us and tell him no biting. Redirecting him to the tubing has made a world of difference for us.
  • neither of my kids have been biters....time out?
  • No watching hockey if he bites?

    For real, I have no idea... mine have never been biters thankfully.  It's so hard to get their attention when they laugh when they're in trouble :(

    Carly went through a biting phase and more times then not it was pure excitment. A few times it was bc she was pissed off at Braelyn though. 

     What really worked for us was we got down in eye level, said we do not bite in a very firm voice. Then we would walk away and completely ignore her.  And if it was B that she bit we would give 110% of our focus to Braelyn. If it was us we would just continue to ignore her.  A couple more times of biting and doing this and we have no more issues.

  • Not at mom, but I worked with Toddlers and had at LOT of biting.  What worked for me was when they bit, I would look them in the eye like MC said, tell them our teeth our for food very sternly and then sit them down next to me for a few mins.  At one time I had a class of 7 by myself and 4 biters, talk about being frustrated.
