Biting
Show your support
We haven’t experienced any biting or hitting yet - but if we did I would just make it very clear it’s unacceptable and stop playing until they have said sorry. Lots of kids had bitten my little boy at Nursey so I think it’s common unfortunately 😬
@Jade yeh have tried all that. He gets upset says sorry then immediately does it again! It's so frustrating. I know most kids go through a phase of biting but I've never seen any do it like this or as much.
I was bitten out of nowhere last night, he was sitting on my lap looking at spiders on my phone and all of a sudden just lent over and bit my arm! I did scream as I wasn't expecting it at all and he laid on the floor and cried for quite a while - I think he understood he hurt me, I did explain that biting is not kind and it hurts and we have to be gentle and to say sorry and have cuddles which he did. Not sure how good this worked because he attempted to bite my leg when i was getting him ready for bed 🙄 I think it's definitely just a phase and eventually they do stop, just know you are not alone. I mainly get the brunt of it aswell, I was told by someone that they always know you'll forgive them and they do it because they feel the safest with you x
I have no advice. We are going through the same thing. We found just saying no or ignoring it fully helps slightly. He's getting less bitey and it's now mainly when tired opposed to just constantly randomly throughout the day. It's really f'in hard and sh*t. I feel for you. I was getting super down and on edge all the time but he is getting better. I hope but the new year its just not a thing anymore. Sending you patience and hope someone can offer something that helps ♥️
