Was told by nursery today that 23mth old ds had bitten 2 kids unprovoked (one on the arm and one on the chin). Felt terrible, esp about the chin one, and the nursery said they would monitor the situation and implement a programme if this became a habit. She really went on about it and made me feel like ds is a bad child. I can't help feeling that they reacted this way due to the fact that one of the parent's (of the arm bite child) complained and took pics. This is the 3rd incident of him biting another child, but the other 2 occasions were after he'd received bites from others.
He also suffered a bite on the cheek last week - the nursery didn't see what happened and typically we haven't made a fuss as thought to some extent these things will happen at nursery.
While I feel bad about what he did today, I don't know what to do about it as he doesn't exhibit the behaviour at home. I also think maybe we should make more of a fuss when he's bitten and then they'd take his bites more seriously. Does anyone have any exp of this - I'm fretting that he's going to be thrown out of nursery now, although dh says i'm overreacting!
