my son has been biting for a while now we've tried to distract him with books and toys and told him off but he still bites. He stopped for a while but now he's started again but only one little girl in nursery its gettin to be a problem now cos the little girls parents are gettin upset by it. its not like he's angry, he's the nicest little boy and wen he bites its not in a nasty way. its just really upsetting. any ideas?

I can use some ideas as well. My 1 y/o bites his siblings and parents only. He bit me and left a mark. So far giving him a wet towel to chew on is working. He didn't bite while teething however.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but when my son bites I bite him back. I also make sure to say something like "See? It hurts, doesn't it? Aaron doesn't like it and neither does mommy". He doesn't bite too much, just sometimes he gets really hyper/excited/carried away.

It's very interesting how biters choose 1 person, my nephew was biting my daughter to the point of breaking the skin almost everytime they got together to play ( but never anyone else), and we would separate them and sit him in time out and tell him biting was mean and make him say sorry when he was done with time out and now he has either grown out of it or he got the point!

Our little girl is somewhat of a biter... basically she only bites me. LOL She used to be terrible about it but she is definately better now. When she does bite I holler loudly "OWwwww.... that hurts me!!!" and then push her away and ignore her. I don't know if this would help in the nursery situation if she is the only person he bites. I would ask his cargivers what happens right before he bites... something is triggering it. Maybe tell them that if he bites, he gets put in a time out, away from the toys and other children. He needs to understand that there are negative consequenses when he bites and I am sure that he will outgrow it.

My son bites sometimes too only when hes frustrated tho. When he bites me i try to get down to his level and tell him it hurts and not to do it. If he keeps doing it i usually put him in his bed for a couple minutes. My parents keep telling me to bite him back but i dont think thats going to teach him anything so i wont do it.
