HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
Marissa is 17 months old and is inthis biting stage. She will act like she is giving you a kiss and will bit your lip. Last nite she got me good. I have tried lightly tapping her and telling her no and that hasn't worked. I tried lighty biting h er back and that hasn't worked.
Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
Just keep teliing her no in a firm but soft voice. LIghtly biting her back tells her its ok to bite

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
I do tell her no I hope this works soon. When I bite her back I want her to see that it does hurt thats why I had tried that but I see that it didn't work. I hope she gets out of this stage soon

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
Claire has been in a biting 'phase' for about 3-4 months now. I am hoping it ends soon. But honestly the only thing that works for us is saying no once and if she does it again then she gets a 1-2 minute time out. She knows it is wrong and I can definitely see some progress from the time outs

She stays in her time out area my DD won't stay there I have put her on my bed and she climbs off I put her in her room and she gets out I put h er on a chair and she climbs off. WHere do you put your daughter for time out that she actually stays

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
I remember watching Super Nanny put kids on time out that didn't want to stay. She would get down to the child's level and tell the child why they were going to time out. They got 2 minutes if they were 2 years old, 3 minutes if they were 3 years old and so on. When they got off their spot, she would get them and place them back in the spot over and over and over again...until the child finally stayed. She would never block them in. It was okay if the child screamed and cried...as long as they were in the spot. When the time was up she went back and got the child and again explained why they were in time out. Then she would ask for an apology and that was it.

When no didn't work. I used to flick Patrick in the lip when he bit. Lightly of course. He stopped after that.

For now we have been putting her in the corner of whatever room we are in, usually her ego is hurt so she just sits and cries. Occasionally she will come back over to us, but I ignore her for a minute and then tell her 'no biting' and give her a hug. She is only 13 months but I can tell she understands, because after she bites she looks at me waiting to see how I will react. And when I tell her "do you want a time out?" she will shake her head no. I tried tapping her mouth but I think she thought it was a game or something.
I am hoping this phase ends soon...

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
My son went through that phase too.. although it's not fun, it does pass, you just have to be consistent, I used to get right down to his level, look him in the eyes and tell him NO, do not bite and then I would sit him on the couch for a couple minutes....oh what a wonderful phase!

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
Other than a muzzle? Just kidding..
We used a very strong "DO NOT do that. I don't like that!" If it continued , we used she was put in a chair and had to sit for a minute. Trick is you have to ignore the behavior (yelling, getting up etc) while she's in the chair. When the timer goes off, we say "Now you have another minute because you got up."

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
It's a phase but try and remain calm and divert her attention and tell her NO. I wouldn't yell at her (some kids like getting that sort of reaction from their parent and they find it funny or think it is a game) or bite her back.

Yeah I keep putting her ba ck on the couch or a chair or where ever I put her and she just doesn't stay I look her in the eyes and tell her she is being bad and not to bite but SHe laughs. I do put her in time out and she does cry and I don't mind the crying but she doesn't stay and when she comes to me I ignore her for the time out time.

I have tried that as well and biting back doesn't phase her.
HOpefully this phase will end soon

Re: HOW DO YOU STOP THE BITING?
my nephew was going through the same thing, he was a bit younger, but he would bite intentionally. I asked my psychology teacher and he said its an attention thing. There has to be a punishment. Put them in their room, take the favorite toy away, take all the toys away. Thankfully my nephew stopped for the most part, my sister did put him in his room and took stuff away. Its hard but you have to stay consistant.

Yeah I do it but FH doesn't he lets her do what she wants and I tell him all the time he has to start following through with things and stick with them. NOt only becuz she has to be disciplined but he can't make me be the bad guy all the time
