DD wont stop biting :(

I have asked what to do about biting before, but Im gonna jump in and ask again!! DD is getting no better. Shes horrible and I hate it!! I have one friend who we see all the time and she has 5 kids, but maily she just has the two lil girls when we catch up (others at school) She has one DD who is 13 months G, and 1 DD who is just 4, E. My DD is just so horrible to G it breaks my heart, so much to the point I just dont even want to see them any more. She can be really loving towards her and gives both of them a big hug and kiss when we first see them. But then shes just nasty, for no reason she will bite or pull hair. Why cant she just be nice!! She tries to bite the older girl too (tho not as much) but E is quicker and gets outter her way. I have tried telling her off, removing her and putting her in a naughty room (she wont stay on a certain spot) Ive tried giving lots off attention to G and none to her when she does bite, I even bit her back as a last resort but shes still doing it!! Its embarrsing, I feel like I cant take her anywhere, or to playgroup coz if im not right there she might bite some strangers kid. I just dont know what to do Shes such a full on little girl all the time, just go go go, not clingy at all, wants to do everything herself. think she could be better at speaking, shes only got about 10 words if that, but she knows exactly what your saying, like if you say "go and put that back in Grandmas room on the chair" no problem or "go and get the book about the kittens" or "where are your pink shoes" shes got no problem following directions. she knows colours, body parts, some shapes. I dont think shes teething anymore, shes got all her teeth for now.

Sorry this is a very all over the place vent/advice post!! I just dont know what to do anymore

Ok I had a similar issue but my friend had the biting child.. She tried to make her sit out.. Or would put her inside (if we were outside) yelled.. nothing worked..

In the end. she would pick up my DD and comfort her and I would tell her DD off (in a nice way) I said I don't like you biting Olivia. It is mean. (they were 2) So a little older then your DD but I think she would understand..

OR. Maybe when she bites hand her a toy (maybe buy a rubber duck or something) so when she bites say No biting your friends bite this.

unfort it is a communication thing and she is at an age where she can't communicate exactly what she wants or what the issue is..

Is it only when you are at their house?? or is it the same if they visit you? I found my friends DD wouldn't bite or hit (as much) when they visited my house. So when I went to her house I took some of DD's toys with me and things settled down

hope it all stops for you soon

No its everywhere, here, their house, in a shopping trolly, the car, and alot of the time it seems to be just because!!

How long did it take for your friends DD to grow out of it? And did your DD ever fight back? I wish G would! shes bigger (tho younger) and has alot of weight behing her, but shes just this kind gentle giant who gets bullied :(

No my DD wouldn't fight back but she was a lot smaller.. Ds used to get bitten or scratched and never fought back either but he was older and way bigger he is also a gentle giant (altho not with his siblings)

It prob took a few weeks once we started the new strategy. Now they get one great but I do think age has a lot to do with that now.. DD is 3.5 and friends DD is 4

Thanks, I'l give it a go, anything's worth a try! :(

Anybody else?
