Well, it happened AGAIN
Yup! Connor got bit again on Friday. Didn't leave a mark this time.
I was pissed. Well, I am pissed.
For Thursdays incident the daycare wrote up an 'incident report'. put it in Connor's mailbox and made sure I was aware of the incident immediately... (And, even if I hadnt the second Connor saw me pick him up he ran over, showed me the spot and told me...) I know they alert both parents, the biter and bitee -- not that I wasn't going to do anything, but one time, I was upset but wasn't going to freak out because unfortuantely, it happens from time to time with toddlers...
Yesterday... new incident report. New bite, SAME KID
Now I'm mad...so I said something to the kids teacher that Its unacceptable that this kid has bitten my son 2 days in a row, and both times unprovoked (they made that clear to me, although biting should never be "provoked")
They said they're "working on it" because its a big problem overall -- but I will speak to the director about it further on Monday because I want to know what "working on it" means...
Like, getting a mouth guard for the biting kid? loll

our center's policy is to not share the name of the other kid involved in any incident, so i am surprised you know who it is! we never found out until ava was old enough to tattle.
my guess is that they are hawking the kid more than usual to catch it before it happens and redirect
Ugh. Poor C. I'll tell you what, that other kid is lucky that your kid isn't violent. He's a little tank and could probably knock the offender on his/her ass. Hopefully the day care provider gives this situation the attention it deserves. Biting is a hard thing to work on.
It won't make you feel any better but one of the boys in Mini's class fractured another boy's ankle on the playground during recess this past spring. It was purely out of anger because the victim walked away to avoid an altercation and the aggressor chased him down and shoved him. The violent kid's mom thinks that everyone has it out for her assshole kid though so... yeah.
our school does not tell us who the biter is - Connor told me who it was within seconds of me arriving at day care.
i loved when ava was old enough to tell us. i don't know why - i guess i just thought it was great she could communicate that, as sad as it is.
Ava used to get her thigh bit when she was climbing up a slide...because it was always the same m.o., i assume it was the same kid. and it was unprovoked. it stopped after a few times. it was like her initiation into that room or something!
k has beem bitten a lot over the last 2 years, but has been the biter more times than not. its hard as the biters parent to fwiw. i promise you, i didnt teach her biting was ok
