Hi, my name is Mezzer and my dd (2.1) is a biter.
And, it's killing me. Not physically, of course, but mentally. She started nursery yesterday and in the space of 3 hours bit two of the other kids. One had a nasty bruise. I am so embarrassed. And, I just don't know how to make her stop. She almost never bites me (has a few times) but sometimes suddenly decides to take a chomp out of other kids. When she does, I move her to the other side of the room, say NO BITING and give attention to the poor victim and then I go and have a talk with her about how it's NOT ok to bite, etc. But, it doesn't seem to be working. And, I'm mortified. Almost tempted not to go back to nursery.
I need advice and probably just a bit of hand-holding. Other mums of biters - how long did it last? Please tell me they don't always turn into aggressive bullying children? Please!
Anyone else want to join me?
