HELP!! MY KID BITES PEOPLE !!!
What do I do?
Well, Aunt Sue has the simple answer; bite them back. Not hard,
of course, just enough to show them that the next time they do
it they may feel some pain.
You may respond negatively to that answer, but it has been known
to work in the past. Children who bite tend to be looking for
attention. When they bite you; they certainly receive that
attention.
Why are they biting you? Is is because they are teething? This
is completely normal and some children love chewing on wood,
plastic; whatever. (Aunt Sue says at least give them a carrot,
corn on the cob or a pineapple core to work their little gums
on..)
If the child is over 3 then it could be simply a way of getting
your attention. Look at the reasons why the child feels the need
to bite you to get your attention; probably they are hungry.
But after 3 years old when they bite other humans a line is
crossed. By responding in kind the child immediately understands
that biting can cause some pain and actions have reactions. They
may understand that biting people is wrong; or they may stop
biting YOU, so either way you win.
