Why do Kids bite
*Young children have not fully mastered the skill of
communication. They are unable to tell you how then feel And get
really frustrated. They lack the verbal skills that They need to
express themselves.
*Biting is a very powerful release of frustration, leadership, or
anger.
*Most children stop biting around the age 3, when They are able
to acquire their verbal shills.
*Biting often results from frustration. Toddler hood is frustrating
as toddlers learn new physical And social skills.
*They could be teething.
*A child could be hungry or tired. They lack good judgment when
They are either of these.
*They may see another child doing it And want to try it.
*they know that it gets great reaction, And use it as a way to
express leadership.
*Maybe an adult has nibbled on them during play. A child doe not
know his own strength And thinks that he is playing when They
bite. When in fact it is actually harming them.
*they have never been corrected from doing this in the past.
What should I do if my child has been bitten?
*the biting child is calmly removed And given a quiet time alone.
Statements such as "you do not bite, it hurts" people are used.
*the bitten child is consoled And the bite is quickly cleaned. Ice is
placed on the bite to decrease the likelihood of swelling or bruise.
*If the skin has been broken I contact the Grant County Health
Department.
*Contact you to state that your child has been bitten and let you
come examine the child if you wish to do so.
*Have the child examined by the Doctor if it is severe.
Thins that you should not do
*Bite the child Back
*Encourage the other child to bite them Back
*call the child name such as "bad", naughty
*Spank or threaten the child
