Amanda and other parents of biters
What did you do with your kids when you got repeated reports of them biting?
Three weeks in a row, I've gotten boo boo reports on my little Jaws. Jackson was always the bitee, never the biter. I have no clue what to do with Michael. He's only attempted to bite at home once or twice, and I always stop him and tell him nice touches, teeth are not for biting. But I feel like a horrible parent in that he keeps trying to bite friends at school if they're in his way or if they're using a toy he wants.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Re: Amanda and other parents of biters
This was us, too. You just have to ride it out really. As long as I addressed it if/when it happened at home (which was rare), the teachers gave them their paci to prevent biting, and that everyone knew that we were all (teachers and us) working to address the problem versus ignoring it, then I didn't feel bad. They'll out grow this phase at some point!
My three sons!
Lanna never once bit, but Wes has had several instances with his sister. Only her, but still, not cool. With him not ever being bit or being around biting, I was surprised he picked up this bad habit, but he did. Fortunately, he hasn't bit her in a few month, but now he's scratching her instead.
I give him a firm "no" the first time and a little time out for consecutive offenses, but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact unfortunately.
My niece has been having several issues with this at school. It turns out she was being "rough housed" in daycare by two boys and that was her defense, which still does not make it right. My sister actually had to tell the owner of the daycare about the "rough housing".
It also turned out it only happened on certain days at daycare, when they were at max capacity and there were less watchful eyes.. They have since restructured.
We're Married!! And I couldn't be happier!
I don't think it is usually a learned response, but more instinctual. Eleni's reports always said someone took her book and she bit them or something along those lines. She wasn't going around just chewing on friends. Some kids hit, pinch, kick, and others bite!
