biting!! HELP!!

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

I need advise for my 2 yr old son.  His baby sitter keeps telling me he is biting other kids.   Ive never personally seen this behavior so Im not sure how to address it to him.   If hes doing it at the sitters and Im trying to scold him 6 hours later hes not going to get it.  

I know it has nothing to do with not liking it there , he loves it at his sitters.  

Im not sure how to handle this.    He is definately going through the "terrible twos",  and YES....its terrible,  Hes testing me every minute of the day, folding his arms, throwing toys, stripping down to nothing when im trying to get his coat on...you name it.   We do "time out" and hes very good at sitting there.  

any advice on the biting will be much appreciated!!

thanks in advance

    When my son started the biting I bought him a book called No Biting.

    In the book it talks about not biting, kicking, pushing, etc.. We just read him the book everynight and would talk about how we don't bite our friends.

    After the one instance, he hasn't bitten since.

    Here is the link to the book:

    Good luck!

    I agree with PP, a book to talk about not biting is a good way to get it through to them with repitition.

    I agree that scolding him about it, or trying a time-out wouldn't work. But talking about the situation helps our little guy get it. SO gets home with SS before I do, so often when I come home he'll say "tell mama what you did naughty at school today..." then will prompt him to say "tackled Evan".  Then we'll both explain "no tackling Evan, that hurts him and his feelings. We need to be nice to our friends"  It worked really well, and he hasn't ever tackled Evan again. Until he tackled Mya, then Aiden.  Apparently when he was scolded by DC, he threw his hands up in confusion and said "My no tackle Evan?"  (translation... but I didn't tackle Evan, why am I getting yelled at here?) LOL... so the talk that night was about not tackling friends in general.
