I am not ready to terminate my biter, so the mom can either stay or go... I'm kinda done worry about this now. I hate when things aren't going perfectly (but really when in life does it ever? lol), so I stress out about the little things. It has only been a day since I've implemented some new measures, and mom is really on board with the things I've suggested, so I dont see why I cant give the little boy time to mature and see if he grows out of it.
The older boy is quite big for his age. Most people think he is three when they see him and are surprised when I tell them he is only 21 months. He isn't an aggressive boy either. He is really quiet and gentle with the kids. I have only had to tell him not to do something a couple times. He is really behind in his language skills (his speech is on par with my 16 month olds, and besides my son, they don't say too many words), but he comprehends really well. I am going to try and get him to not go near the biter tomorrow, but I'm not sure how well that will go as they do get along.
I think my biter feels he can do it to the older one because he doesn't react when he gets bitten. He doesn't cry, scream, yell, etc... He just walks up to me calmly afterwards and say, "Ow". I don't think the older boy lets himself get bit to get others in trouble or for attention. I just think he maybe hasn't had that much experience with younger children or children in general. I know he was cared for by a family member before and they said there was another little boy his age, but I'm not sure if it was in a daycare setting, although the parents keep saying daycare.
Who knows. Maybe tomorrow we can have a bite free day! lol...Here's hoping!
