Just looking for some advice and/or tips on how to get a child to stop biting. I currently have twin boys who are 14 months old. One is usually the "agressor" and the other normally backs down. Anyways, the "agressor" is a biter. He has only bitten his brother once before at daycare and that was when they were fighting over a toy. I told him sternly that "we don't bite" and put him in a timeout away from the other kids. He has attempted to bite a few times since then, but I have always been able to intervene.
Yesterday, he bit 4 times and attempted several times beyond that! He bit my daughter twice (two seperate incidents) and my son twice (two seperate incidents). Once with my daughter was during a struggle over a toy, the other was unprovoked. Both times with my son they were upnprovoked (he bit my son's face while my son was just standing with the other kids). The incident when he bit my son's face just happened to occur when another daycare parent was picking up their kid, and they expressed concern in fear their child will be bitten.
I'm not just upset that he bit my kids (I'm glad it was them and not the other dck as I just don't want to deal with that) but this sudden increase has me worried as he has tried to bite again today.
I put the child in time out away from everyone else each time he bit, along with a stern verbal warning, but really I am at a loss as to what to do. The mother is apologetic and does not know what to do either.
