ok so dd is 14months now and is going through the biting,pinching stage when she doesnt get her own way or wants to be spiteful.i dont know what youre supposed to do...ignore it or tell them off? or what? tips please! thanks

judging by the lack of response does this mean i have a troubled child and noone else has experienced this? eek

ive been there recently (dd was around that age)

ok our way may not be the right way for some but it worked for us. we set up her travel cot in the living room which we nicknamed the 'sin bin' lol. every time she bit, in she went with a firm 'no' it took a couple of weeks for her to suss it. In the end she would bite and then try to climb in herself
she hasnt bitten anyone for a couple of months now (she is 19m)

hth
