Any ideas/tips on how to stop a biter? My ds is 2.9yrs, have occasionally had problems with pushing, snatching etc. but nothing too bad. Last week I took him to soft play and there was an incident where another boy bit him on the cheek-he was absolutely distraught, so I consoled him, told the other boys parents and he apologised so I thought that was it. However, went to the same soft play centre yesterday and he did exactly the same thing to another child! I was mortified and took him straight home explaining why, he was very upset so I thought that would be the end of it. Tonight he had a friend round for dinner, while they were playing they had a falling out and he went to bite her (her hair so a half hearted attempt but still the thought was there). I put him in his room and the friend went home, he was absolutely distraught.
I'm really worried as he starts nursery on Monday-couldn't have come at a worse time. Am I dealing with it correctly? What would others do? I really want to nip this in the bud if possible before it becomes a problem
