Biting

DD is one and has been biting a few times at daycare lately. They said it seems to be when she wants a toy. She doesn't do it with us, and we are rarely with her around other kids, so I don't know what we can do to discourage it/encourage alternatives to biting. Any tips, O wise parenting?

    I can assure you she's not doing it to be mean. It's a phase and it's mostly due to teething. The most you can do is redirect and wait until it passes.

    Like Shanado said- redirect and don't make it a big deal.  The more you really give attention to the behavior, the more they will present it to get a reaction.

    Biting stinks. My son went through an awful biting phase.
    If you know it's toy related maybe practice sharing it at home or closely supervised with other toddlers. Make really exaggerated praise when she shares well.

    DS went through a biting phase around 1 and we would redirect but also really practiced sharing at home. We would make a HUGE deal whenever he shares well. He started doing it again around 22 months and we were able to explain to him that he hurts the child he's biting and he made the kiddo a sorry card. He stopped after that. Just be consistent and it will pass.
