The Biting Solution

Biting is one of the most aggressive toddler behaviours that parents and childcare providers have to handle. Though the first bite can often come as a complete surprise -- a normally mild-mannered child takes a chomp -- the habit is a difficult one to break. This helpful guide provides parents and caregivers with recommendations for prevention, immediate intervention, and long-term solutions, and includes a puppet show script and a song that adults can use to help children learn to communicate without biting, hitting, or other inappropriate behaviour.
