When my daughter was two years old she was biting the children in you class in daycare. She wasnt doing it at home. The daycare center told me that if she didnt stop she would not be able to come back. I am a single mother working full time and I was not getting child support so I didnt have anywhere else to take her if she got kicked out of daycare. I took a drastic measure. I figured she did not understand how painful biting was so I thought that if I showed her that she would understand. When I first bit her she thought it was funny, so I figured that that is what she thought the other kids were thinking. I had to bite her harder. I bit her just hard enough for her to cry but I did not leave any marks on her. It took mabey five minutes for her to understand that biting was not funny. After that the daycare said that she did not bite anyone. I know this sounds cruel but I did not bite her hard enough to leave any marks and she seemed to understand. I kept telling her that biting was bad and it didnt seem to click until it was done to her.
