Can anyone help me manage/prevent a mindee who keeps biting people as I've never had to deal with this before.
Since the first incident last week I've been keeping a really close eye on him but he then bit another mindee on the finger whilst out in the double buggy and today bit one of the older children on the arm hard enough to bruise after I let my guard down whilst cooking tea as I foolishly didn't consider it happening with older ones.
There doesn't seem to be a particular trigger, I've told him in a firm voice no biting, it's not kind & makes xx sad (boy who got bitten was crying) but mindee is only 1.5 so I'm not sure how much he understands or can process at this age. I'm finding it hard to manage such close supervision with another toddler plus school children especially needing the loo, changing nappies, & needing to cook meals (I resorted to putting him in the highchair with me in the kitchen whilst I finished making tea as I couldn't trust him not to do it again) and it's impossible pushing a buggy whilst trying to preempt another incident. Any advice would be great.
