Best Biter Tips

[flying_babyb]

So We got that KID! the one year old SUPER biter. We havent found a pattern yet, but are documenting and trying to find one. Alot of his attacks are random. So what else can we try? Hes got a chewie necklace, he gets removed from the activity when he bites, we talk to mom about it. Were at a loss.

This is such a bad situation. It will escalate until someone is fired, accused of being "abusive" to the child.

I/We had this child some 20 odd years ago.

No matter what we did, NOTHING worked. And he was older!

It took every single parent in the classroom to tell the Director (who like you, wanted to work with him and help him) that either he goes or they go.

So he went.

I am sorry you are in that position
