In the last month DD has been biting, not me, but DS and her 'friends' ..
I've never had to deal with this kinda thing, she bit DS when she was 18mths old and he squealed (he was 4mths!) and she never done it since, well till now.

What do I do? I've been telling her off, making her cuddle/say sorry, naughty step, time out, in her room away from me & DS, ignored her and spoke with DS, and I've bit her back a couple of times, she's still doing it though, I've just had to comfort DS cos she bit his arm She's not broke the skin, but it's not a small bite either, she definitely meant it!!

Help!

Depends on why she's doing it I'd imagine. Is it an uncontrollable rage thing, or an attention thing? Once you've worked that out you can work out how to stop it. Biting back though I'd say turns her into a victim and won't work as she'll just feel sorry for herself. Be calm, consistent whatever you decide, but try and work out why she's doing it first.
