So no I will not shadow a biter. And I won't tolerate biters in my day home simply because my parents will not tolerate their children being bitten.
I see your side and yes it is very hard work to do. As I also have 5 kids plus my own. I just chose that method as how else can you find a solution to a problem if you don't see what the motivation is. I know it can be difficult for people to hear that there child was bitten but I have very understanding parents and I am extremely greatful for that. My bitter had also already been with me for a whole year and I'm happy I persevered as she is a very fun loving child.
