I just got a call from the school nurse that my DD (who also is in first grade) got bit by a boy when they kids were all lining up to go to gym or lunch or something.....
Skin wasn't broken, nurse cleaned it and my DD seems to be in fine spirits about everything....
But WTF.....I thought the biting phase ended at the age of....oh....TWO!!!!!!
Nurse assured me the kid is being punished, whatever that means.
Re: First grader bit my DD.....
Some kids never grow out of it- my niece who is 9 had to be placed in a special school for behavioral problems b/c she bit her teacher twice last year. And my other niece, who is 5, also bit another kid last year.
Thank goodness DS was never a biter- I can't imagine.However, when he was in pre-k, he was bitten by the same kid 3 times. That's the reason I pulled him out of that school!
