biting 6yr old

[littlemisschatalot]

please help. my ds has started biting in anger. we have talked to him about moving waay/counting to ten/take a deep breath etc...but it just doesnt work. when he bites, we remove him from the situation/talk to him about other ways of handling anger, and remove a toy.(nintendo/tv/etc) he seems sorry, but it keeps happening. he is also punching/scratching too. he has up to now, been a loving, gentle boy. nothing has changed at home, and school say there is nothing wrong there. he does say though, that one particular boy is constantly nasty to him at playtimes, tripping him up/name calling/taking toys.this boy seems to be the alpha male in the group. how can i help him?

first make the school aware of this so they can keep check at play time

tell your ds how to handle this at school walk away find others to play with etc to talk with you and to bite is wrong etc

and carry on doing what your doing his obviously releasing any pent up anger through the day could you do reward chart or maybe a feelings box he can go write down and you can read later if he cant talk about it much

main thing is getting the school aware so they can deal with it appropriately

At 6yrs old he knows biting and hitting out in anger is wrong, and he should be able to control any urges to hurt others, so you need to come down very hard on the behaviour, there must be some reason so let th school know that the other boy is giving him trouble and ask them to keep an eye on it.

When your DS isn't biting/hiting etc give him lots of positive attention, extra love and support, he sounds like he is going through something!

sorry for multiple post!
