My 4 yr old DS has just bitten my 5 yr old DD on the arm, really hard and has left a really big mark, he bit her really hard. This is the second time he has done it and he has been punished both times, by no tv for the rest of the day, no treats all afternoon or after tea, no music on, and was sent directly to his room with a stern talking to for 10 mins after. My DD was winding him up and generally being nasty to him so he lashed out as he was annoyed, this was exactly the same as last time she drew him to distraction so he bit her. He is generarally the good boy who gives us no problem and when he bites obviously it hurts my DD but she loves him getting punished as it is usually her getting sent to her room or losing privileges. About half an hour after the incident she had rainbows and absolutely loved telling and showing everyone what her brother had done!! so humiliating for me!!
Not sure I am approaching it in the right way how can I make him realise however wound up you get you do not bite. He is starting school in september and do not want him biting people if he is getting wound up!!
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!!
