[quote=Anonymous]Babies bite when they can't communicate.  She may have felt powerless in the ping pong game and the only way to win is to cheat by biting.  How many activities or sports is she in? It could be too much, or too competitive.  Have a family meeting when she's calm and talk about how the mouth is filled with bacteria and if you bite someone, it can turn into a serious infection, talk about what happens to dogs when dogs bite people, scratches can get infected, etc. She's too old for that kind of behavior. I'd try to figure out what is driving that behavior. Is she too tired from school and sports? Was she hangry? I'd feed her more. If she's kept busy eating then she can't bite you. Is her brother older and larger and she feels the only way to get even is to do things like bite?  I'd supervise the sibling interactions more closely.  The neuropsych evaluations can take a while.

If she didn't put her dish in the dishwasher, but she put it in the sink, that's close enough. Try again each time to get her to put it in the dishwasher, or put a sign to remind her to put the dishes in the dishwasher. To follow her and take away the keyboard in anger escalated it and seems more like revenge.  Leave the kitchen problems in the kitchen.

She's lying to save face. Lying and manipulation is associated with being social.
