my DD is 17mths old and I have found out that she has started to bite other children at daycare. I Know that it is just a stage, but as a child carer myself I know what is said about children who bite and I hate the thought of my DD being talked about like that.
She hasn't bitten anybody outside of care and she is currently getting some more of her molars comming through.
I have asked the girls to treat her firmly and let her know that it hurts to bite and that it's not ok, but she will still do it, usually when she is tired.
She has a nasty streak when she is tired when she will smack, scratch, throw toys and when you growl at her she laughs the first 2 times and then dissolves in to tears.
does any body have any strategies I could try I really want to stop this behaviour as soon as possible.
I have told the girls at day care to give her a chilled teething toy after they have told her it's not ok and they say she munches on it for a little while after an incident
