2 year old just bit another child for the first time. I just removed him from situation and put him to bed. Any good advice to make sure this does not happen again? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Shocked face, stern voice is sufficient. Biting your child? Are you completely out of your effing mind, lady? [ Reply | More

just watch closely at future playdates and intervene before it happens; if it does happen, be consistent and put in time out; remind child to use words. all 3 of my ds were biters at 2 and grew out of it, but while in the phase it was very, very stressful and required a lot of parenting on my part-could never take my eyes off them when playing with other kids [ Reply | More

Very seriously-Immediately pick up your child and strongly vocalize-"No Biting Ever-That is NOT OKAY!" Allow your child to witness your inquiring as to the welfare and condition of the bitten person and see clearly your concern and sympathy. Immediately leave the setting and keep conversation very simple. i.e. "We are leaving now; You may not be with other children until you understand-Biting is not okay; Biting hurts." It's hard, but stick to it. Your child will ask to go to park/playdate, interactions; these are further opportunities to simply converse on the topic. [ Reply | More
