Biting at th...I work in early childhood education. Biting at the toddler stage is SO common and is usually about frustration and not aggression. It often looks and feels violent and aggressive to adults, but to the little one it is the same as pushing, smacking or screaming. It often comes from not being able to communicate what they want well. Maybe try some cards with simple pictures of items he might want and teach him to show those? Things representing "My Turn", "Hold me", "Hungry", "Rest". Also, anytime he bites, give a loud and really exaggerated "OUCH!!! THAT HURT!" or yip/howl like a hurt animal. Do it with a sad/hurt face so he doesn't think it's a game. Biting is a hard stage, but toddlers grow out of it, so your little guy should, too!Last Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381377825784945623noreply@blogger.com
