    2 year old biting, help!!!

    My two year old has started biting, he pretends to be giving kisses and then bites instead. Im at my wits end and am scared that he will do some serious damage to DS2. How did you deal with it? Nothing i do seems to work. Help!!!

    I am going through the same thing with DS atm, so no help here but will be watching this thread with interest! My DS thinks it's hilarious for some reason, we definitely don't encourage him to think its funnY!

    DS is also going through a biting stage, although I think we're at the end of it now. I tried absolutely everything to try to stop it, time out, taking his favourite toy away, not allowed to watch his fav tv show, everything I could think of and nothing I did stopped it - until I bit him back

    I just want to say that I don't think it's ok to do this, and by no means was it a hard bite. I did it as a last resort as I didn't want him to end up biting a child at the playground or playgroup, but nothing I did was working. I hope you can find a solution better than mine.

    We are just coming out of a few biting months with DD. I don't know what started it and I don't know what is stopping it..

    She might bite once a week now maybe and even then it isn't a proper bite it is just a graze now. She was mainly biting Ds3 and leaving huge bruises..

    I refuse to bite back but I did tell the boys if she bit them again they had our permission to bite her. she never bit them after that. Well apart from a few grazes on DS3. I didn't really want the boys to bite back but I think DD got the message quick smart. She is smarter then she lets on lol

    I am not sure if this sort of thing would work with your kids as there is just under a years difference in age and understanding
