My daughter has just turned 2 and I am 35 weeks pregnant. The tantrums have upped in the last 2 months since she turned 2 infact and she is trying to bite a lot. If I am holding her and she is not getting her own way. Then she will try to bite me but if I pull away and not let her she will bite her own hand, what I'm reading says give her something for distraction but she would be likely to fire this at me when she is in this mindset so that dosent make any sense to me. It's awful to see her doing it and now it is upsetting me. So far I've said that's silly don't do that it hurts you and just brushed it off or walked away I've thought it best not to make a big deal incase it becomes attention seeking. She goes to nursery 2 days a week there is a lot of biting going on there too but she always seems to be on the receiving end of it rather than doing the biting I think. Nursery handle it with the usual removing the victim making sure they are alright asking biter to apologise etc. She is quite a spritely lively and loving little girl but when she turns she really turns and I feel awful like its my fault..... Her language is a bit slower than her peers so that I know will be frustrating her and as her SAL develops I suspect the biting will not be as natural a reaction to her. She use to bite her dad a lot during physical play that was excitement and I think that has got better because she knows daddy stops playing if she does bite him. Really I am most uncomfortable with her biting herself anyone any experience or advice?
