How to keep your toddler from biting others?

Asked by Shann0n {106} http://shannonmsmith.wordpress.com 3/14/2010 8:32:20 PM I have recently noticed that there are many toddlers that are having issues with wanting to bite others. Is this a child being a child or could there be more to the problem?

In most cases, a toddler wanting to bite is some what of a normal activity. However there are several cases where the toddler is experiencing anxiaty or stress and is using biting as a method of communicating this to others. If biting has become a constant problem with your child, you should concider speaking with your doctor about appropriate messures to correct this issue. |

Biting at some ages are a normal part of growing up and testing the limits. Some children tend to bite if they are frustrated and have difficulty expressing their feelings or using their words. If this is not the case and the child is just biting then try talking to them or giving them some type of inscentive to get them to stop. If all else fails, depending on how old they are, ask them if you can bite them. See what they say. Most of the time they will say no and then ask them why. If the tell you because it is going to jurt, then ask them then why would they want to do it to someone else. |

Admittedly, the advice I received about a child's biting was several decades ago. But I'll also have to admit it stopped the biting immediately. When I asked my dr, I was told to bite back. Not to break the skin of course, or even hard enough to make him cry! But just enough to startle the child, and make him realize it hurts. Then tell him whenever he bites, he will be bitten, until he learns that is not the way to behave. Fortunately, it only took once. |
