1 year old biting

[american spirit]

anyone else have trouble with their kid biting themselves and other people when they hit 13-15 months.

my daughter pulled a hannibal and almost bite her cousin's cheek off last week. she's been biting kids and herself for a couple months now. just a phase? maybe it'll stop after she's done teething?

when we were growing up and i had five brothers...

each of us tried that trick....

and we got spanked real good
enough to make us CRY

that ended that.

my mother revealed that to me one evening.

Just spray her with the hose every time she does it....she'll learn.

[Back Beach]

My three year old still does. Its his only defense against his big brother.

No big deal though, its a phase that will pass at which point they will start throwing heavy objects and the like...

[fishbones]

My older sister almost bit my finger off within days of me coming home from the hospital with my mom because she was jealous. She was about 18 months old at the time. She turned out to be a real a-hole as a teenager and adult who has addiction problems and can't keep a job. I haven't talked to her in about 5 years, along with everyone else in my family.

I wouldn't worry about your daughter, though. I'm sure she'll turn out just fine.

Still have to be firm on no biting / time outs (or some reasonable discipline).

It is a phase but it is also not something to be left alone for them to grow out of.

good to hear i'm not alone. i found that when she gets tired and pissed off, that's when it starts. tried talking loudly and sternly, but doesn't work. time outs not working either. she usually just bites us instead.

I went through that with 1 of my three boys when he was about a 1 1/2 years old. He bit his older brother hard enough to bruise him pretty good, I told him flat out that if he ever bit anyone again I would pull his teeth out with a pair of pliers. The very next day he did it again, when I got home I went to the garage, got a pair of needle-nose pliers, put him on his back across my knees and scared the ever-lovin crap out of him.
Never had that problem again.....of course I had to withdrawn my bid for parent of the year.

I hope you don't think a 1-18 year old pays attention to you the 1st few times you tell them NO.......it takes a few hundred....and then they still don't listen.

You still got 17 years left of it so get used to it....

The Pliers trick is a good one....I could see me using that one

[american spirit]

i thought it was supposed to get easier as they got older?

.....Its even funnier because you have a girl

Maybe you can set up a grudge match with Niko's kid? Since fishing seems a little slow we could have a TFHTFFN at the Fairhaven VFW. That could be our entertainment.

KINDERDOME....Two Kids enter One Kid Leaves......you could velcro plastic bowling pins and matchbox cars to a playpen that they could use for weapons.

actually just put one single toy in the middle for them...MINE, MINE, MINE

i talked to my little one, he said "bring it on mofo". my oldest wants the winner

[MarshCappa]

My kid did the same thing. I used to take away one of his favorite toys everytime. It worked. Now that he is 5 his favorite thing to do is spit. Not full on spit on your face but enoght that it drools out a little. Disturbing. Ahhhh the joys!

My daughter was on the receiving end of it once. Not fun or funny, and needs to be nipped in the bud.

How are you doing your time outs?

Nothing works better than a bar of soap in the mouth, and now we have liquid soap alot worse

A slap across the face does. No repeat offenders there.

we pretty much have no clue what we're doing, but know you can't talk rationally to 15 month olds, or expect them to understand time out.

[Plum Crazy]

Bite her back J/K
This one of my biggest pet peeves. Human beings DO NOT BITE PEOPLE.
Totally unacceptable. She is so young though. I haven't a clue what to do when they are that young.
She won't understand if you bite back or yell. Remove her from the situation every single time no matter what.
Any child that is acting with unacceptable behaviour needs to be removed away from everyones else. Usually they can't stand "missing" something and will come around.
I am a child care provider and that's the rules we go by in any circumstance.

There's one aspect of negative feedback that has been utilized by evolution to help all living creatures develop and survive... pain. It'd be tough for me to not give my kid a smack. Parents have been doing it for thousands of years. Only in the last couple decades has this become taboo for some reason. This country is getting too damn soft... raising a bunch of mamby, pamby, entitlement-expecting snobs.

Exactly.

Not to condone physical abuse, but every time my son would bite, a crack across his diaperless ass ended up doing the trick. Not the first, second, third time but eventually he realized that correlation between biting and his ass stinging.

Having them "drink" soapy water (just a sip. A little dish soap goes a long way) has worked for people I have known to have this problem.

Does your daughter have a playpen/crib area in which she has not started climbing out of yet? Putting her in this for a period of time with no parental attention (obviously you'd check on her without her seeing you) could help out too. There will be a lot of noise!

Actually the combination of the smack on his butt and being "away" from everyone seemed to work well.

If all else fails, break out the pliers!
