Well at nursery anyway. He's bitten twice this week, once a child on the finger when they were scrapping over a toy then again today in an 'apparently unprovoked attack' - in the words of one of the nursery nurses. It seems he didn't break the skin but has 'made a real mess' of this childs face which is quite badly bruised.
I feel awful for the child and his parents. I was devastated when similar happened to ds1.
He's never bitten at home although he rough houses with his brother as much as other siblings do and we intervene and use the naughty spot, explanation and apology when he does pinch, scratch, slap etc.
Nursery are going to do the same but have asked if they can put him in a travel cot as he just laughs when they put him on the naughy cushion. Have agreed to that but have refused the suggestion that they strap him into a push chair .
I'm just so upset that my gorgeous, beautiful, funny, loving little man is doing this .
Should I write to the other parents?
