[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say anything, they will figure it out immediately. Remember that they have seen hundreds of kids in this precise age range and have ways of dealing with it and preventing it from happening. When my dd was in the 2's room at her daycare there were 3 kids who went through biting phases. The teachers would shadow the kid and redirect them when it was about to happen as much as they could. It's considered normal through to age 3 and they do their best to keep it from happening and talk to the parents of the biter about ways to reinforce not biting. My kid was bit a couple of times in that room, it never broke the skin and just resulted in a bruise, and it didn't happen past age 3 and she doesn't remember that it happened and still plays with those kids now. It's often because the kid is frustrated and doesn't have the language skills or impulse control to express that. I always felt bad for the parents of those kids honestly.[/quote]

OP here- thanks for this perspective[/quote]
