What\u2019s more, they\u2019re likely to backfire and make the behavior worse, squash self-esteem, lead to aggression, and cause a host of emotional and behavioral problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do not bite back. <\/strong>You may come across advice to bite back to show your child what it feels like. Not only could this be dangerous and confusing to your child, it sends the message that aggression is okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you sense that your child is going to bite, distract and redirect him. <\/strong>Distracting and redirecting are keys to toddler discipline in general, and great ways to swoop in and stop your child from biting before it happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Respond to biting with a brief phrase<\/strong>, like \u201cno biting, biting hurts.\u201d Use easy-to-understand words that get straight to the point. Say them firmly but calmly. A brief, unemotional response tends to be more effective than lecturing or getting upset. Toddlers enjoy attention, even it\u2019s negative, so lengthy, emotional reactions may reinforce the unwanted behavior rather than stop it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider a time-out<\/strong>. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends time-outs for biting. You can read their guidelines for toddler time-outs <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/13\/toddler-discipline-18-24-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offer support to whomever your child bit. <\/strong>This not only helps you determine if the other child needs medical attention, it models <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2016\/07\/06\/become-your-childs-emotion-coach-make-empathy-a-priority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">empathy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read books about biting. <\/strong>Books like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Teeth-Biting-Board-Book-Behavior\/dp\/1575421283\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524586454&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=toddler+biting+books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/No-Biting-Lift-Flap-Book\/dp\/044842584X\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524586673&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=no+biting&amp;dpID=61TTqi-yIiL&amp;preST=_SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=srch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this<\/a> are engaging ways to reinforce a no-biting message.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk about how biting affects other people. <\/strong>Putting herself in someone else\u2019s shoes is a tall order for your toddler because it\u2019s a skill that develops over time. Still, telling her that biting is painful and makes other people feel sad helps her learn that her actions can hurt others.<\/p>\n<h2>Cause-Specific Tips to Stop Biting<\/h2>\n<p>Figuring out <em>why<\/em> your toddler is biting is the most effective way to stop it. Pay attention to the circumstances around her biting. Where is she? What time of day is it? What\u2019s happening before she bites? Who is involved? You\u2019ll likely see a pattern that highlights the cause, and you can zero in on that. Here are strategies for the most common biting triggers:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your toddler bites during sharing squabbles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/06\/why-is-it-so-hard-for-toddlers-to-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">why sharing is hard for toddlers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/07\/what-to-do-when-your-toddler-wont-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coach her through sharing squabbles<\/a> in realtime.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/06\/the-building-blocks-of-sharing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nurture sharing concepts<\/a> (like turn-taking and empathy) in your day-to-day with your toddler.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Seeking Attention or Expressing Feelings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If biting is your toddler\u2019s way of getting your attention, or expressing feelings like anger, sadness, frustration, or excitement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2017\/10\/30\/raising-an-emotionally-intelligent-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Acknowledge her feelings<\/a> and teach acceptable ways to express them. \u201cYou\u2019re so mad! It\u2019s okay to be mad, but it\u2019s not okay to bite. Let\u2019s sit together in a quiet place until you feel better.\u201d Even if your child doesn\u2019t understand all the language you\u2019re using, your gestures and actions help get the message across.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Lack of Language Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your toddler bites because her language skills haven\u2019t caught up with her desire to communicate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/18\/supporting-expressive-language-skills-during-baby-toddler-hood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nurture her expressive language skills.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Give her the words she can\u2019t find on her own: \u201cYou want my crackers. Mommy, may I have a cracker please?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Feeling Overwhelmed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your toddler bites because things like crowds, lights, noises, or people coming to the house are too much for her:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid these situations if possible. If you know you\u2019re going to be in a situation where these things are unavoidable, plan a way to help her take a break if she needs one. This could be taking her outside, or creating a \u201cquiet corner\u201d in your home with pillows, blankets, and books where she can go to feel calm. Sometimes, this type of overstimulation is due to a breakdown in <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/21\/sensory-integration-how-the-senses-work-together\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sensory processing<\/a>. Consider checking in with your pediatrician or a pediatric occupational therapist for guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Feeling Overtired<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you suspect your toddler might be biting when she\u2019s tired:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider whether she\u2019s getting enough <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/27\/the-role-of-sleep-in-baby-toddler-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sleep at night<\/a>, skipping <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/28\/why-naps-are-a-must-for-babies-and-toddlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">naps<\/a>, or perhaps has too many activities that are zapping her energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Feeling Antsy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you think your toddler may be biting to release pent-up energy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure she has plenty of time for outdoor play, full-body movement games, or actives like dance parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Teething Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your toddler starts biting around the time her molars emerge:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Head over to our article about <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2018\/02\/19\/all-about-teething\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">easing teething pain<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Seeking Oral Stimulation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your toddler is biting because she craves having things in her mouth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Offer her safe things to bite (like sensory chew toys) and tell her: \u201cIt is not okay to bite me, but it is okay to bite this.\u201d Seeking oral stimulation may also be a sign of sensory processing issues, so consider mentioning it to your pediatrician.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Above all, remember that biting is an obstacle many, many other parents and caregivers of toddlers face \u2014 and with some investigating and consistent effort, it can be overcome.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you\u2019re the parent or caregiver of a toddler who bites, rest assured that biting in toddlerhood is common, and there are reasons for it.
