Our 4yo dc has been a biter since he was 18 months. It reached fever pitch this time last year with a horrible 3 bites in one day at nursery (I removed him as they were no help at all).
He is now in a primary school nursery setting and is much more settled. He did bite regularly when he started in Jan but since Sep he has bitten twice (one being today).
he is on the SEN register, has a sensory diet and wears chewlry. We have just got a zones of regulation resource to this week to help him understand his own feelings.
No diagnosis but I have ADHD myself and this may be the case for DS, I don’t know. I was only diagnosed six months ago.
I lose so much sleep over it and don’t seem to be able to keep things in perspective about how far he has come. When it happens I just get terrified of other people’s responses and obviously huge worry for the other child.
I would just really appreciate any support or kind words because it all feels so overwhelming and I am constantly feeling like a failure.
Thank you for reading!
