Good morning, I'm Dr. Laura Johns and this is your Monday Morning Parenting Minute brought to you by Legacy Academy for Children. If you haven’t guessed, I’m referring to biting. If your child bites, remain calm and think about what the child experienced just before the incident. Understanding why young children bite can help you deter this behavior and teach them positive ways to handle their feelings. Never hit or "bite back" a child for biting. The approach should be calm and educational without reward -- not even the unintended "reward" of negative attention. Try to identify possible reasons for a child's biting and respond accordingly. Does the child always bite the same individual? Is the biter simply exhausted, or hungry? Be ready to intervene immediately, but carefully. Patience and consistency can guide you and your child towards self-control and away from biting.
