[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are all over-reacting.  Biting is developmentally appropriate at this age.  At our preschool they tell the biter, "we don't bite friends, we only bite food" and distract the child.

I remember being upset because DC #1 was frequently being bit, and then DC #2 turned out to be a biter!  Nothing we could do but remind DC #2 about only biting food and wait for it to pass.[/quote]

You’re nuts.  First, if biting were “developmentally appropriate” the majority of kids will be doing it.  It happens but is certainly not “developmentally appropriate”.  Second, your school or daycare should have been in constant contact with the biter to protect other children.  You were really mislead, PP.  Your preschool sucked. [/quote]

Even if you don't kick the kid out, the staff needs to be on that kid 100 percent of the time, unless there is a clear pattern, in which case they need to be on that kid during those times when biting is happening.  Biting is NOT appropriate; most kids don't bite.  [/quote]
