Biting toddler

How many times has she bitten that you’ve got 3 more chance? And also is there a trigger that causes her to bite? Has anything been put in place for her by the nursery?

Also she’s at the stage where her communication will be coming in and she’ll be getting frustrated not being able to communicate with her peers and staff about what she wants x

Is she teething? Can you give teethers for them to use for a bit? That’s insane they would kick her out. My toddler went through this phase at daycare - mostly when kids were in her space/close to her. She’s over it for now! But it lasted about two weeks. And she bit me too. But the teachers just let me know daily when she was doing it and that’s it. They would try to get to her before she bit if she seemed frustrated. Ugh I’m sorry! Can you visit the class? Let them know ur doing everything possible to get past this phase…

Gosh this is a safety issue. I know a girl who has permanent facial scarring because someone bit her face as a toddler. Why she’s biting is irrelevant. She needs to learn a firm boundary on this one and figure out other means to communicate what she wants.

Does she bite at home? My son bit me twice and I bit him right back. Not enough to actually hurt him, just enough that he understood what was happening and he didn’t like it. And then we did Supernanny’s naughty spot method of discipline. Hitting, biting, punching, throwing toys all warranted naughty spot.

I need help with this too. My twins won't stop biting each other, I've noticed it's when they are in each other's bubble or trying to take what the other has. No matter what I do, they keep biting.

I’m not an expert, just a mom who’s been through this phase. They are doing it a lot of times b/c they can’t communicate what they want or how they feel and they get very frustrated.
I had a teacher in his class that was just a really good teacher, she kept her eyes on him alot and intervened anytime he appeared frustrated. I started to notice the only time he’d have an incident was when this teacher was absent b/c she was the only one that went the extra mile. He grew out of it once he started talking better. Talk to one of the teachers and see if they can pay closer attention to her until this phase passes. I been there it’s rough, I was getting constant calls, hang in there!

It’s so controversial of me to say, but when I was young and I went through this phase, I bit my dad. In response, he bit me back (obviously not too hard)…I never bit again.

I had the same with my son and he did get expelled, he was biting everyday. He never did it at home and didn't bite any of his friends that I socialised him with. He moved to a new nursery and has never bitten a child there. I'm not sure if it was the trauma of being sent home and not allowed to go back that stopped him or the new nursery being a better setting for him. But don't be disheartened if she does end up being removed because it may actually be better for her (although total nightmare if you have to go to two different drop offs) good luck, much as it's horrible if your child is bitten it's also horrible when you are the parent of the biter.

Hi I used to be a 1s teacher. And the biting stage can be ROUGH! Hang in there. Is she biting at home or just at school? See if she can use a teething necklace so that she can have something to bite instead of other kids. https://a.co/d/0ahb9AFU. We had a chronic biter in my class it helped a little. Sometimes moving them out of the class with different kids/teachers helps also.
