My son was a biter for a while around that age. He was really too young to understand to not do it. He just grew out of it. And now he's a hitter lol! Not at daycare his sitters tell me but embarrassing sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2824097 Tue, 22 May 2018 15:53:47 +0000 FaithFertility 2824097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: same his sitter isn't worried, but I hate it! He is such a love bug, but does it for toys, or if they are in his space! I'll look into that book too!</p> <p>He is biting my BF DD who is 23 months so I keep apologizing, but feel like a bad mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2823880 Mon, 21 May 2018 19:40:03 +0000 Amorini 2823880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Hey, mostly commiseration here! Daycare assured me it’s the age and they all grow out of it and it doesn’t mean we’re bad parents! :shocked: DS has been on/off the biter and the victim in his daycare class. He mouths our shoulders when he’s excited and overstimulated, too. At home and school, we are reinforcing the same “we don’t bite our friends” and “we don’t bite mom and dad.” (And we put him down if we’re holding him.) Since he seems to be understanding more and more lately, I have started little “talks” about things that happened earlier in the day (“when you bit your friend at school...”). </p> <p>I did buy “Teeth are not for biting,” recommended by the PP. He probably been bit 5 times and done the biting 5 times! It usually seems like it’s over a toy or a spot that the one kid thinks is his/hers. The kid who rightfully has the toy needs to “defend” themselves and use their teeth instead of words. At daycare he hears “use your words.” Lately I hear him saying “mine.” I guess it’s better than biting!</p> <p>It’s been a few weeks since our last daycare incident. I don’t think we’re quite in the clear yet but fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2823876 Mon, 21 May 2018 19:14:57 +0000 FaithFertility 2823876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump<br /> DS is 19 months and bites DD 3.5 yrs at times over objects but is now biting a playmate at his sitters too :(<br /> He has bit her twice in 2 weeks :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2721309 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 06:51:09 +0000 Smurfette 2721309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: she was about 15 months when she was biting (after getting bit first). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2721097 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:23:25 +0000 travellingbee 2721097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: you think even for a 15 month old? He doesn't really listen to books well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2721092 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:20:24 +0000 Smurfette 2721092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These two books helped LO. Then at school they followed her more to try and prevent. </p> [attach=1508/17/oo0jm0.337x600.IMG_4064.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weve-got-a-biter#post-2721062 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 18:56:17 +0000 travellingbee 2721062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple months ago a little girl that is in my 15 month old son's class started biting him when they would fight over a toy. Now she has stopped this and he has started biting her. It's constant. Every day when I pick them up lately, he's been fighting over toys with her and biting. He only bites that one girl. I don't think there's much I can do at home because he certainly doesn't make the connection from what I tell them at home to at school at this age. But it's so frustrating that I can't stop the situation in anyway. Anyone go through a similar situation and have advice? </p>
