Do you know what they did? I'm working really hard with my LO and his biting issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-858445 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:04:30 +0000 littlek 858445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: As a parent of a biter, we are doing everything we can to stop the biting. I think it does come down to supervision. My LO hasn't bitten anyone 20 times, we are currently at 5 bites but each time I find out about it I feel awful. It's hard to work on biting when your LO does not bite at home. I feel awful for the child being bitten but trust me it's rough on the parent of the biter as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551405 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 23:37:46 +0000 brownie 551405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my biggest fear. I know that biting is an appropriate developmental stage. But at some point it is not adequate supervision. That is what the daycare can control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551357 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:46:18 +0000 mrbee 551357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Hopefully they put it on the biter's parents... I think that if their kid continues to bite, the parents should be required to do something about it or get kicked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551354 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:43:49 +0000 MamaG 551354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee: Not purposefully. Sometimes the name will slip (it did with our prior biter) and with this one we are fairly certain based on some information they have given us. We know it's one of two kids. </p> <p>In both cases it's boys. I don't know what to think about it, or if I should try to draw any conclusions. </p> <p>It is a lot of bites! I was patient up until I realized there had been 15. We are quickly filling our memoir box with all these reports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551342 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:34:39 +0000 mrbee 551342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Do they tell you who the biter is?</p> <p>20 bites is a lot!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551321 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:14:06 +0000 MamaG 551321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee every time a child is bit, both families are notified. I specifically asked today how the parents of the other child are reacting to the situation.</p> <p>I remember @Chopsuey119's post. It stuck with me the first time our LO was bit (and I became acutely aware and wanted to be sure we didn't end up with a biter). I miss the days of raspberries on my LO's tummy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551313 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:09:32 +0000 mrbee 551313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have they talked to the parents of the child? Often it's the parents who are inadvertently teaching their LO to bite... Chopsuey119 wrote a great blog post about that!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/08/20/how-we-created-a-biter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/08/20/how-we-created-a-biter/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551299 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:54:59 +0000 prettylizy 551299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nothing helpful for you, but ((big hug)) to your LO!! Poor thing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bitebitebite#post-551288 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:46:14 +0000 MamaG 551288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who has a toddler in a daycare/school environment that has been bitten? How many times has your LO been bitten? What is the staff reaction? What is your reaction?</p> <p>I'm reaching my limit with biting. I love our daycare but we can't seem to escape biting. LO is nearly 18 months and in about 4 months time has endured about 20 bites. We just dealt with a repeat offender who got moved to the next class. Now we inherited another one that just moved up into our class.</p> <p>The staff takes it seriously and has a new game plan each time it occurs but it just doesn't seem to stop for more than a week. And now that the discussions have reached a much more serious level we know that our LO is being targeted more than any other child. Our LO is also one of the "happy/social" kiddos.</p> <p>Tell me all about your experiences. </p>
