Does anyone know how I can get my son to stop biting! He bites when he is excited and when he gets frustrated. What can I do?

well, I can tell you how I stopped my oldest from biting...I bit him back. I told him it doesn't feel good, so please don't...next time he bit, I bit back...worked like a charm, sure he cried,but he got the idea that biting was not ok. Really helped around daycare time too.



Show him other ways to express those feelings, like hugging when excited, and flapping his arms when frustrated...takes away from the biting...but ultimately, you may just have to bite back.
