Suggestions on biting...?

My children never bit people consistently...and I'm not sure if it was because of the way I handled it or if they just grew out of it... Anyway...whatever you do, don't let it become a way for the child to get attention--even negative attention is still attention!! Stay calm (try not to yelp!) and remind him "kisses only" DON'T SAY, "no biting" because when he hears the word "bite", he'll do the action...if he hears the word, "kisses", he'll (hopefully) do that action.

Good Luck! Be patient!

I started biting when I was little after having seen another child at my daycare doing it. First see if there is anything in his enviroment that might be teaching him to bite. Also try very hard crackers, aka teething crackers. They let the child work on chewing skills while also helping with teething. Not to mention they'll usually be so worn out from chomping that their little jaws don't wan't to do it anymore, haha. For my 4 y/o charge, I bought a nice trial size of Lever 2000 soap for $.50 at the drugstore. Everytime he bit, he'd have to go bite the bar of soap. Eventually I'd just warn him before he tried to bite that if he wanted to bite something, the bar was just in the other room. For your son's age, saying "do you want soap?" is a good alternative. The ingredients are safe as long as you don't shove the whole bar down their throats ;)

This sounds strange but what he's trying to put a cross is that he really loves you and biting is a phase that children go through when they don't have the skills to communicate this to you. I've found that if you give him lots and lots of kisses or good attention that if he bites you sound hurt very loudly and stop kissing/playing. this should work after just a few times,he'll realize that if he wants nice time with mummy he shouldn't bite her. i promise it should work

my 1 year old just went thru that phase. I showed him that it hurt when he bit me. other people will say bite him back so he knows how it feels, that did help with my oldest but i wouldn't recomend it. some kids bite because they are teething and it helps the tooth break thru, if thats why then give him a popsicle or something frozen and hard so he can bite on that, the cold will numb the area. for others its a form of deffense, is there other children around that are playing rough with him? If so try teaching him other ways of deffending himself against them. otherwise just teach him that it hurts and it's not nice or fun to bite. goodluck with him.

DO NOT bite back! Human mouths are one of the germiest places. I know most people wouldn't condone this, but I gave my kids a very light swat on the mouth with a very firm NO! A very light swat does not hurt them but the motion of your hand is the main thing, the next time they try to bite show them your hand, that's usually enough to make them stop. You as well need to show that he/she hurt you. I think showing that you are hurt does make a difference. Children want to see mommy smiling not frowning saying NO.

I don't agree with biting them back, that only confirms that biting is okay. you are the role model, and they will do what you do. what my doctor recommended worked excellent on my daughter. he said that i should put something sour (lemon juice ) or spicy (tabsco-only a TINY bit) on my hand and let them bite it. The child won't like the taste and will learn that when they bite, they will get something yucky in their mouth. Don't use much!!! just enough to get the taste...

try shwing him that biting is wrong words are not everything expecially to a child that young. If the child bites you you might say ouch and show your emotions. They say don;t bite me it hurts when you bite ouch. It won't stop over night but it is good to reinforce it

bite him back or pop his mouth with your two fingers thats what i had to do with my 1 and 2 year old kids.

Bite him back

maybe he has a tooth comming in,and if not what they said :)
