Issues with biting

posted 16th Mar
A couple months ago my daughter had a really bad issue with biting. Anytime she got mad she would bite whoever was next to her at the time. We broke her of it and she hasn't done it in a while until recently. She has started to bite again and it's started to get out of control. I discipline her and she goes in time out anytime she bites but she still doesn't get that it's not okay and will do it 10 minutes later if she gets mad again.

I need advice on how to break her of doing this. And DO NOT say bite her back because I refuse to bite my child. I have tried everything I can think of to break this and nothing seems to work. Help!

you can try taking away her most valuable possesions, like her dolls or toys or video games, tv time, something that will make an impact on her. maybe for the rest of the day then tomorrow is a new day. other than that, and time out, it may just be a phase and she will grow out of it, not without consequences of course. good luck!

When time outs doesnt seem to drive it into my 3 year old, he goes to his room, and not for 3 minutes but until he camls down and we can talk.

My little brother was a biter, and my mom would squirt lemon juice on his tongue whenever he bit people.
I dunno how helpful that is, lol. It would suck if your kid hated lemon forever because of a punishment.

I know you don't want to hear it; but the only thing that broke my son from biting was someone else biting him back. Not hard, but that's what worked. Only other thing I can think of is talk to her doctor about it. (and no, I am NOT telling you to bite your child!) But definitely something to talk to like a child psychiatrist about.

See that's the thing... The thing that broke her of it before was her cousin biting her and she saw how bad it hurt. I refuse to bite her but if my niece gets mad and bites her back one of these days so be it. Maybe it will teach her again.

The only issue with that is my kid loves lemons. Haha

Hopefully it does! All you can really do is explain to her that it hurts. Remind her of when she got bit the last time and ask her if she liked it, and tell her that's how other people feel when she bites them.

My oldest was a biter. Nothing, absolutely nothing broke her of it but time and lots of patience. I even got desperate and tried the biting her back. Did nothing but leave a bruise for me as a reminder I just abused my child. She still bit any time she was "triggered." I remember when I was a teach in the 2's class I had a little girl who bit when extremely excited. She just got so excited she didn't know how to release her excitement. So, I had a biting blanket for her. Whenever she'd get super excited she could bite it. It went everywhere with us lol. I wish I had been that smart with my oldest. Maybe look into getting her something like this, and explaining she may only bite this? http://funandfunction.com/chewy-wristbands-p-1654.html That site has other options as well.
