Once your child bites someone, you feel panic, embarrassment and horror. You do not know where to look or what to do! Why did this happen? Am l to blame? You ask yourself is something wrong with my child? Let me reassure you, biting is quite common among young children. It happens for different reasons with different children and under different circumstances.
Parents can do lots of things to help prevent and solve this problem. Before approaching to end the problem look at why it is happening. Due to their limited language and our limited "mind-reading" skills, we are unable to really know exactly what their thinking! Some developmental theorists suggest that biting may be a form of exploration, but as parents we can make some educated guesses.
