DD (2.5) is a prolific biter/hitter at home and now at nursery!
She seems to go through phases where she will bite every day at nursery and then not do it for a few weeks. Apparently there doesn’t seem to be any identifiable triggers or patterns.
At home it’s usually out of frustration or excitement. We do a firm “no biting. That hurts” and remove her from the situation quickly until she calms down. She is very quick to say sorry and cuddle afterwards.
It’s becoming a real problem at nursery though and I think some bites have been really nasty.
I would love to hear from anyone who has also had a prolific biter at a similar age and any ways you found best to deal with it / get past the phase?
Im getting really worried she will lose her nursery place and also worrying I’ve done something really wrong to cause this!
