My 2.5 year old has bitten other children since age 1. At play groups when surrounded by other children or if others want the same toy. He bites children who visit my home if they play with his toys or unprovoked sometimes just because they are there. I know children bite , and I know he will grow out of it, and I am trying to teach him to use words instead of biting. The trouble is other parents reactions, I'm afraid to go to playgroups now because people are so cruel, he's been pointed at and people have removed their children from him. My friends have suggested he needs psychiatric help even. And I know this not to be true. It's is awful when your child gets bitten, but how do I deal with these parents? My confidence is on the floor.
