How do you respond to your kid pushing and biting another?

I was just at a party and there was a whole bunch of kids there. My son was the youngest at 13 months and there was another boy who’s a month older (so 14 months) I’m going to call him Ben so this hopefully makes sense. We ended up leaving the party early because Ben would not stop hurting my son. My son would be walking towards a toy and Ben would come up from behind and shove him. Or my son would be sitting on my lap and Ben would come up and try to hit. At one point Ben got on top of mine and bit him causing my son’s lip to bleed. I’m upset my son was hurt so much but I can’t fully blame Ben as he’s just a little kid but I’m really pissed Ben’s mother had no reaction. Ben’s dad apologized to me a couple times but everytime he did the mom would just say that we can’t reprimand him because he doesn’t understand and he’s too young to know it’s wrong. Im so mad this mom would not even get up from her seat while my son’s bleeding but I’m trying to see it from her side. I’m just curious how you’d react if your child was hitting pushing or biting another child. I feel like I’d atleast tell my son no and try to redirect him but my sons never tried to hurt another kid. How do you respond during a situation like this?

Show your support

I don’t know how I’d respond to another kid doing that, probably just leave too after it kept happening! But there’s still definitely ways to tell your child that it’s wrong. No, you don’t punish them they don’t understand actions and consequences but my baby will hit or scratch and I say ow baby be gentle/soft and model being soft for her. And now if she does that to another kid I’ll ask her gently to be soft and not hit and she’ll go up and give them a hug and pat

Nah idc id snatch that kid up so fast and yell at them idc if they understand me or not and give them to there mother and tell her to get her shit together or she can get beat tf up I don’t play that shit at all no one and I mean no one will put their hands on my kid if it was minor like I wouldn’t but to make my child bleed nah ima see red idgaf I’m sorry that happened to you LO I hope they’re ok

My daughter is 14months and bites me all the time so I tell her to stop, if Ben was my child I did take Ben away from your son and try to entertain him my self instead. My kid still bites even after I think buying her back will make her stop 🤣🤣🤣 so I guess it is a phase I can't wait to stop 🥴🥴

Bitting **

My son is a biter and he hits out of excitement. He mainly only bites me, my mom and my MIL. We try to emphasize no and stop, and hopefully it is just a phase. I would warn any parent that he may try and I would separate him immediately if I saw him starting to go near anyone with his molars showing. He has tells. The other parent was very irresponsible.

Well how do she think he’s going to learn not to do things if she doesn’t say anything? I probably would’ve had to handle mom because aint no way she said that. I actually took my twins to a party not too long ago and a bigger kid(about3/4) pushed my daughter(12 months at the time) down I went and pushed him down and told him go get his mama 🤷🏾‍♀️
