So DD is not quite 2 - she'll be 22 months in a few days.
She has gone through stages of being quite 'bite-y' and also of pinching. I thought we had knocked it on the head a few months since, but it's back, and it's really casting a shadow over my time with her. Desperate for some strategies!
Previously I firmly said 'NO biting' and 'NO pinching' when she did so. If she hadn't managed to yet but looked like she was thinking about it, I'd 'remind' her in a gentler voice. With the pinching, I'd gently but firmly hold her hands for a count of 10-15 whilst saying 'no pinching' again. With the biting, if she persisted, I'd put her down in a safe place and walk away/ ignore for a period.
Like I say, that got results - but this week she's doing it again! Only to me. It hurts! And I only have evenings with her as work full-time. Feel like I'm spending the whole time telling her off instead of playing with her and bonding.
Any silver bullets......?
