Hi
I desperately need some advice or at least some reassurance.
My son is 2 and, whilst absolutely no Angel, is generally one for the sweetest, funniest most loving little kids.
HOWEVER, he's gotten into this awful phase where he is biting a kid literally every day at nursery.
In his meagre defence, he never bit until he started in his new toddler room and was bitten like 3-4 times in a row so it's a learnt behaviour but it's going way past this now.
We have literally tried EVERYTHING:
- ignoring it in case it's for attention (at home)
- sticker reward charts - at home and in nursery
- being calm but very firm - "biting is NOT nice/biting hurts/kind hands
- distraction
- Time outs - at home
- nursery have bought him bite buddy things for round his neck
Nursery are great Tbf and say it's just a phase and he will get through it but I'm honestly distraught by it. To the point I'm considering taking him out of nursery for a month abs trying to crack the habit.
I'm even more concerned as I have a new baby due 20 December and I'm terrified of how this might make things worse.
Anything anyone has to offer is greatly appreciated as I basically just cry every day he gets home xx
