#218569 - 02/13/13 05:12 PM Biting Granddaughter
Sandy N. Registered: 12/23/10 Posts: 201 Loc: Washington State	My granddaughter is almost two years old and recently bit her mom. Any advice on the most effective way to stop this behavior? She has only done it once (so far) but it was in anger. We definitely want to nip it in the bud. I've heard everything from biting her back to acting real dramatic (crying, etc.) so she'll know she hurt us. _________________________ Sandy Nachlinger, author of BLUEBONNETS FOR ELLY; co-author with Sandra Allen of I.O.U.

I can't remember what we did when my kids did that but probably let them know it hurt and it's not okay. At 2, they don't know how to deal with anger. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

Rewarding good behaviour ignoring bad is a way to strive to. later its right to says "THAT was sore I am unhappy" she will grow out of biting...she may even still be getting new teeth.

Sandy N. Registered: 12/23/10 Posts: 201 Loc: Washington State	Thanks for the feedback. My daughter-in-law and I didn't like the "bite back" idea either! _________________________ Sandy Nachlinger, author of BLUEBONNETS FOR ELLY; co-author with Sandra Allen of I.O.U.

A Antecedent....what triggers her B Behaviour..... temper/ biting /stamping feet/ shouting C Conscequence .... that is up to what Mother Father decide..time out..naughty step.???(I dont like naughty step) Whatever is decided has to be consistent ..Always reward positive behaviour...wall charts with stars..praise and hugs. We are all human...but these are guidelines that seem to work

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	I think my mother bit one of us kids back to train us not to bite, but when my kids bit at about that same age, I employed the "we'll discuss this and then you will sit by yourself in a corner and think about what you did," method of punishment. So glad not too many people go for the "bite 'em back" routine. (Though if the biting persisted, my punishment would probably have proceeded to a swat on the butt and a threat to bite back if the perpetrator didn't mend his/her ways.) _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

That was enough. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com
