Are you fucking kidding me at all this shit saying bite back?! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BITE YOUR CHILD?! most toddlers go thru that stage. if you think biting them back is the answer, your abusive ass doesnt deserve to have children… sick fucks. That just goes to show how many child abusers there really are.

Bite back. I broke my son with, just one time of biting him and that was all it took. He didn’t like it.

Put her in the corner by holding her hand and walking her to it everytime she does it. Explain to her its wrong and it hurts. Then wait 5 minutes and ask her why was she put in the corner, she will tell you. And then make her apologize. Let her know that if she does it again, it will be a longer time in the corner.

My daughter was doing that to the kids at daycare, we soon realized she was having issues with constipation! Fixed that and the biting stopped 
I’m confused with this thought process that a bite back is abuse, when the child is causing pain to others… so your child continues to bite others while you’re reading them a book and waiting for them to understand?? These parenting styles is why i won’t put my kid in daycare… I’m not letting my kid get chewed up while y’all have story time at home

Both my kids have bitten before. My almost 3 year was really bad with it. I would tell her no biting firmly and giving her something to bite on instead helped. My 1 year old has only bitten a few times and just telling no biting firmly has been working so far.

My mom was told to bite me cause I was doing that to my brother out of anger, I stopped lmao
My son ( now 8 ) was a nightmare for doing that when he was a toddler. I had tried everything… some-one told me too give him Mustard. It worked!! He never bite again… i done the same with my other two children and i must say they will proberly hate mustard for the rest off their life, but better than soap!! Lol. Good luck…
If one of my children bit my other child enough to leave bruises AND break the skin… they are getting a spanking. No question. And then a time out and then probably lose their favorite toy for a couple days. Anything less is allowing your other children to be abused.

I told my 2 year old daughter to bite her own arm. She hasn’t bit anyone since. Every kid is different just like every parenting style is different. Try what you are comfortable with, ask your pediatrician their recommendations and just go from there.
My daughter bit me very hard when she was 3. I bit her back…not very hard. She never bit anyone again.

A flick in the mouth or biting back will help. It’s not abuse. Life will hit you 10x harder in a more fucked up way & other people won’t love you like your parent will when they do such a thing OUT of love. There are consequences to your actions, you hit, you get hit back. All about teaching your kids about karma

Time out and then make her apologize
I would always give dramatic attention to the biting victim. Like oh my gosh I’m so sorry are you okay?? And fuss over them and give them cookies. My son would get so annoyed and I would tell him go away you’re mean you bit!

I mean start with the getting down on their level eye contact stern warnings, if that does help move on to time out/ losing privileges
Most kids get the concept at this point but there is some resilient kids out there
My son personally stopped biting when he bite his sister and she whacked him in the mouth, I don’t condone hitting but the look of shock on both their faces was priceless and then ya there is always biting them back my little sister was one of those resilient kids my mom got me and my older sister to kick the biting stage after a few time outs but my little sister would sit in the time out chair for hours no tv for a whole day nothing worked at one point she bit me and broke skin and it wasn’t like she was mad she’s just do it to do it she asked me to help tie her shoe and when I bent over she bit my shoulder. My mom bit her back that day and she never bit again

My strategy when he does something like that is to remove him from the one he bit, give him a time out and I go and give all kinds of love and attention to the one who was hurt. (In our case the cat) and then I go talk to my son and make him “apologize” He stopped after only once or twice. He was younger but I think I’d do the same if he started again now.

My now 6yo is super caring, lovvving (some times too much) and mod/severe autistic, he used to loooove biting to release anxiety. I on the hand wasn’t a fan of getting bit all the time. I started biting him back while his little chompers were still attached to me and that ish stopped reaaal quick! Guess he didnt like it either lol

Months after C-sec and 2 consecutive surgeries; my child bit one of the “healed” incisions and drew blood. I am not proud of slapping him, but A. Nothing has ever hurt that much since or before and B. He never bit me again.
The kids need to bite her back. Nip that in the bud. This is real kid life… The younger ones get away with this… I never hit my older brother because I knew he would hit me back real life right there.

My 10 month old bit my nose the other day he thought it was hillarious he proper went in on it like it was the last rolo 
NO I didn’t bite him back NO I didn’t smack him , I told him no and I moved myself away from him that was enough to make him cry he didn’t do it again he bit my finger instead 
kids go through a stage of bitting just saying the other kids won’t want to play with them Tho if it carries on (Yes my baby has teeth by the way )

With my son, he started close to 2, it got pretty bad and gave up and bit him back (gently of course). He never did it again. My niece was a little trickier. I bit back and she’d lash out even worse. I would get on her level, timeout, take her privileges away, flick her in the mouth gently but enough to catch her attention, for her nothing worked until she outgrew it. But I would definitely try these things because for the most part these will work. My niece was recently diagnosed with some stuff that makes it very easy to explain what was happening
Whatever she does try to do it back to her. If she bites then bite her too so she’ll know what it feels. It works for my son 
I bite my son back he never bite again

She needs to learn coping skills. Deep breaths, walking away, talking about her feelings, etc. I’d also get her some chewelry so she has something acceptable to bite if she gets frustrated.

My youngest daughter got bit by a neighbor kid one time, the mom was so upset said she’d been trying to stop it for a long time. I told her to bite him back, I had to do it with the same daughter that got bit. A month later she seen me said she did it and she hadn’t had a problem since. Dont be an idiot and draw blood or leave marks, it takes just enough for them to know how it feels.

Redirect and enforce boundaries! Do not give in. They learn at an early age how to manipulate.
My 3 year old only bites me. We dont do the spanking thing as per my fiance (her father) but she gets a slap for biting. Last time she broke the skin and left me bleeding. We tried time outs, a stern talking to, taking things away. Say what u want and whatever works for you cool. I’m not beat for it and my mother would have whooped my ass into my next life if I ever pulled that shit. She knows it wrong and only does it when shes in trouble or is told no. I’m not raising a dictator
I’m not proud of how i got my son to stop but I bit him back once and he never did it again 
not my finest moment as a mother

Children need to understand WHY it’s wrong. Tell her and explain why it hurts, how it can hurt someone.

Sometimes children bite out of frustration of not being heard…
I have 4 and my son would get very irritated with sisters especially when he felt babied and not independent within the group
Please don’t bite your child back or hit her. Toddlers generally act out because they are lacking something, like the ability to cope or verbalize what they are going through. Hurting an already hurting child is wrong. Finding out what is causing her to become so frustrated will work wonders.

My son is Sensory seeking for him it felt good to bite skin. So we got him some teethers to bite and worked on other Sensory Input therapy.
Understanding how to break kids bad habits is always tough… try to understand why she feels thats the fastest way to get what she wants. Maybe she doesnt know another way to get her point across, instead of saying no dont do that, show her what else she can do to help with her feelings. It could be anything, maybe she needs to be by herself for a minute, or doesnt know what words to use and needs a little help. Theres always a way, youll find it mama

Bite her back! Seems mean but she has to learn that it hurts and its not okay
I flicked my kid in the forehead every time she bit me only did it twice
Time out say you gave sissy/brother an ouch and it wasn’t nice. Have her apologize every time and ensure she knows it hurts others.
Might sound terrible but she needs to experience a bite!
Not hard enough to cause injury but enough so she knows it hurts

Bite back is correct. They need to know the pain.
I brought my son to daycare when he was 3 and there was this little girl that was a biter. Every day for about a week when picking him up from daycare he has a bite mark on him. Then one day I when I picked him up there was a really bad bite mark on his arm. I was so angry that I looked at the little girl and told her "the next time you bite him or anyone I AM GOING TO BITE YOU! She never bite again! Sorry, not sorry!

The ONLY way to teach a child empathy is to teach them how their actions hurt. This mentality that we just say “no” has got to change. Actions DO have consequences.

Let her older siblings bite back. She’s doing it because she’s not getting serious enough consequences🤷♀️ don’t listen to the Karens on here. If she’s breaking skin she needs to understand she’s causing serious pain.

I’m sorry but it took biting my son back just once and he never bit again. Did it just hard enough for him to realize it hurt.

I bit my boy back to let him know how it felt not hard enough to bruise or tear the skin but he stopped also it dangerous for broken skin from human bite be careful
Is she verbal? At 3 they are learning how to regulate their feelings and reactions. Or is it behavior issue?

I remember I was a biter, I did it because I was mad, I was jealous. I was 3. My mom baby sat for this girl and would show her attention; I just didn’t like it. My mom bit me back, and as an adult I remember how childish it made me feel when she did, vulnerable and isolated, I was a kid and just wanted my mom. But I never bit anyone again after that. It’s hard raising kids💯

Don’t bite her back. What worked for me was dramatically fake crying any time my toddler would bite. It would hurt her feelings enough that she didn’t want to do it anymore. Only had to do it maybe twice.
My kids done this to each other DCFS said we couldnt do anything about it thats how they take their frust out cuase they cant express all their feeling yet please don’t bite them back they will never stop if u bite them back itll just make the situation worse nd prolong it they will stop in their own

She has to have a self-defense mechanism if she’s the youngest of four. Give her words to tell her older siblings to back off, and teach them to respect those words. Most biters quit once they have a better vocabulary.

Do not bite back you are reinforcing that when you are mad that is what you do. I had a child in my daycare that was a biter. His mom went to the doctor and he said rub an onion on his teeth and don’t give him a drink right away. It’s nothing toxic and the most it will do is he will grow up not liking onions. Have a wet face cloth handy so he can wash his face from tears from the onion
Bite them on their arm. Tell them first what you’re going to do and explain why you were doing it. You’re doing it so they know how the other person feels when they bite them. Then bite them and they won’t bite anybody again. I did it to my nephew when he was chasing my son around and biting him on his back. My nephew never bit anyone again
