my dd bites other kids in her daycare. sometimes it is pretty random seeming, sometimes it is in response to a conflict. she is no more agressive than the other kids, but they hit, and biting hurts more than hitting, ya know?
I feel as though we (parents and dcp) are doing all the right things, but it is still happening. i know she'll grow out of it, but I'm feeling a bit fried and hopeless about it. the other day, she bit a kid in the playground (dd is 19 months, the other kid was at least 3 and was pushing her, so it was a self defense thing...but still i felt like my kid was the one who'd done wrong
)
so, I guess I'd love to hear ideas on how to hasten her passage through this stage as well as advice on how to keep my own perspective and cool about it.
