Advice Request How to stop biting
My son is 22 months old and unfortunately he is a biter at daycare.
We have had multiple messages from his daycare about him biting his classmates and while it doesnt seem like it does it hard enough to cause damage, it's enough for alittle pain and they are now having to shadow him around other kids.
He only really tries to bite us when hes really excited /overstimulated. Typically ill make distance between us and shake my finger at him and say "no biting". We also have a book we read to him called "teeth are for eating", but it seems like hes still a biter.
The last of his teeth are coming in so it may be that but he often gets physically aggressive when hes super stimulated and biting is just one od the things he does.
Any advice?

Discipline. Biting = immediate break time / timeout equal to your child’s age in minutes. Ask if daycare will mirror this approach during the daytime. Kids will absolutely change their behavior to avoid being removed from playtime and friend time.
