Nasty bitter

[BrightEyes]

The deal breaker for me would be the moment one of the bites broke the skin, drawing blood. In daycare centers when a bite gets that bad the child must go to the hospital for a tetanus shot and the incident is reported to the ministry.

In my home daycare, I would do as some have already mentioned above:

*Give a time-out to the child when the incident happens and give all of the attention to the injured child.
*Put the child in a playpen or high chair when you can't be within arms reach of him.
*go over "what biting is for" (we bite food, not friends etc) but after a few days I would work on forgetting about the "biting", as in don't mention it and work on the positives, praise for good behaviour
*look at your program and see what can be done to keep the child interested, there for distracted for the thought of biting
*have teething rings available

If all of the above has been worked on for a good chunk of time OR blood is drawn, I would terminate.
