I have a child in my care who will be two in September and he has started biting others when he gets frustrated! At first it was just an incident or two, but today he did it three times! Luckliy today he didn't bite hard, but sometimes he does. I give him an immediate time-out, talk to him sternly at his level about biting, make him hug and apologize to the victim, but it doesn't seem to phase him...he doesn't seem to mind the time-outs and I don't think he actually gets the connection. Any advice on how to deal with biting?
Hi,
Time out's don't work for every child, how about taking a privledge away. Losing his favourate toy for the day or not allowing him to take part in a favourate activity might be a clear motivator!
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
