BIting

[Trace of Angels]

I have talked to her parents. She bites at home worse than with us at daycare. They are at a loss and feeling pretty frustrated :-( I feel bad for them as I can't imagine what I would do if it was my child. I thought about the soother thing but mom asked me not to give it to her as they fear it will further her already delayed speech which is probably adding to the frustration.
How long would you give to improve sierra?

You don't say how old the child is? What time outs are you giving for biting? Are the parents following through with the same format of discipline?

In my experience if a child is not emotional during a time out they are not getting the message. For my bitter I found putting her in her bed worked. She hated being put in her playpen + she hated being away from her friends. She stopped biting in less than a week.
