OMG - My son's a biter! I have always dreaded my kid being the be mothers group bully, and last week it all came true! He bit one little girl (same age) twice! I appologised and felt awful! I said he'd never bitten anyone before! Later I realised he's never bitten anyone, but he bites my shirt (which, up til then, thought it was a teething thing) and bit the cat.

Maybe the little girl at mothers group was a one off.... Nope! Visited some friends last night, who have a 8wk old boy and a 2.5yr old girl and he bit the girl 3 times! DH suggested that the girl was in his face yelling at him and he reacted to that. But when someone screams or makes a louder voice than him, he tries to equal or better it and be louder, which he didn't do. DH says we need to discuss it, sort out a way to stop it... But I have no ideas.

I am so embarrassed! I love going to mothers group (even tho there's a clique within the group), but am stressing about tomorrow, wondering if he'll do it again..

What can I do? Ashamed of this as I am to say, I was a biter at playgroup when I was a little over 1yr old. The cure was for me to be bitten back. Didn't do it again.
Ds is only 9mths old, and I don't know if he'll understand.

I just don't know what to do! Any ideas? Suggestions? Books?
