Bitting
Asked by K.H. from Seattle
on October 1, 2010

My son is 16 months and he bites. Any ideas on how to get him to stop? Thanks for all your ideas.
Answers
- Yes, pull him away, say very loudly, no! If that doesn't work, put him in a room by himself after you say no. Do not bite back. Violence does not stop violence. ...
- be proactive & watch him closely.....when you see him trigger, jump in & tell him NO BITING. Hopefully, just redirection will stop this!
