My 28 month old will not stop biting!!!?
My son is always biting, just this morning he bit my older sons friend in the arm. They all were playing, chasing eachother, having fun, but it ends up this way, him biting, or spiting, I don't know what to do. My 7 year old had that problem when he was 2, but I bit him back, and it only took like two times for him, and he stoped!! I can not get him to stop, I don't want to put hot pepper in his mouth, or soap, to me thats mean!! I pop him but nothing I seem to do is working. I understand he is in his terable TWOS, but I'm at the end of my rope!! Any advice???? Thanks
My 9 month old is repeatedly bitten at daycare. What can I do?
3-5 times a month actually isn't too bad. I've watched kids who were horrible biters, and they're very sneaky and smart too. They can hurry up & get a bite in even if you only turn your head for 2 seconds. Or you can be looking right at them & they'll give a quick bite before you can even stip in. Biting can last a few months, it's a long, slow process working on correcting it. All a daycare provider can do is to try to prevent it from happening (which is extremely hard) and put the child in time out or take him away from the situation when he does it. I'm sure the mother feels horrible, this is the only way her child knows how to vent his frustration or try to get what he wants. He's not old enough to think of other ways, and this is a phase most children go through at some point. 3-6 months down the road, your child may be the next biter (and no it won't be because this child is biting him, it will be because it's a natural process of "growing older"). I agree with you, switching daycare providers should not be an option, because stuff like this will happen no matter what daycare you place your child in. Everyone is aware of the problem and is trying to correct it, so it's just a matter of time, you just have to wait it out. You can request that your child be put in a different room or with a different group than what this child is in, but that may not be possible. Another thing to be considered is have you asked if your child is doing anything to provoke this other child? Even though it may be minor or normal, your son may at times do something to get this reaction from this child.
3.5-month old gets frustrated when trying to play with toys?
Just wondering if any other mommies have observed this. My baby seems to get frustrated when reaching out to grab toys on her activity playmat. She'll grasp one of the dangling toys, and her movements are still somewhat spastic so she's unable to control the movement of the toy and then she ends up crying. I noticed too that when I give her one of her other little toys to play with, she'll grab a hold of it but if it has too much crinkly noises or if she can't get it into her mouth easily, she starts getting cranky and then starts crying. Do I just have a little chiona? LOL (chiona is spanish for crybaby) Awwww, my little sweetie. Anyone else observe this with their baby?
Can a 3 month old try plain mashed potatoes?
I love the point Rainwriterm made... Thongs have CHANGED, just because they gave us a freakin chicken leg when we were 4 months old doesn't make it okay! (just joking about the chicken leg of course) but seriously, we as humans have learned a lot over the past 20 to 30 years and if we put that knowledge to good use maybe we'll have healthier children and adults in the future! I hate how when you do put your foot down it's always the same thing "well I did this and I did that with all 8 of my babies and they turned out fine" then it turns into you're calling them a bad mom or something. No, it's not their fault they didn't know back then, I am a bad mom though if I let it happen now knowing what I know.
