I've posted about this before, sorry, but it's got to a point where I really need something to work. I get bitten by DD once or twice every day. It's not a quick nip, she's like a bull terrier, hanging on and biting harder when I ask her (as calmly as I can manage) to stop. This morning she almost drew blood. It was agony (it was my neck she bit) and I lost it with her, shouted at her and burst into tears. She looked scared and shocked.
What can I do? She knows she's not to bite. I normally tell her in a calm voice not to bite, I put her down and walk away. She immediately gives me a hug and says sorry. But then she does it again the next day. If she doesn't bite me, she bites herself. She's worse when she is tired, and there is very little warning, so I'm starting to tread on eggshells to avoid a situation where she might bite. I know many toddlers bite, but this is getting out of control.
