Harry S Truman: I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
Take the Bite out of your Toddler's Biting Problem


The majority of toddlers engage in some biting between their first and third birthdays. Probably the most common reason is that it is one of the few ways of communicating that's effective for them, before verbal skills are developed. However, not all children bite. Some choose other forms of communication, such as grabbing, shoving, or punching.

Another reason toddlers bite is to express frustration, a feeling which is very common with toddlers, because both their communication skills and their motor skills are so limited.

To a young toddler it can be funny to see mommy suddenly bolt upright or for a playmate to start crying. Toddlers may also bite because they're teething or because they put everything in their mouths anyway, so why not someone's arm? It could even be something as simple as hunger.

But how do you teach your child not to bite? Make it perfectly clear that the biting is hurtful and wrong and point out to your child how much pain their biting has caused. Express that biting is wrong and unacceptable and that neither mommy or daddy like it.

If you discover that your child is biting out of frustration, try giving them an alternative to express to people they are having a difficult time. Though language is a difficult task at this age, most toddlers can be taught words that are appropriate for such a situation. For instance, "You need to tell mommy or daddy that you need help and not bite us," or "Show mommy what you need, but don't bite. You'll hurt her if you bite and I know you don't want to hurt mommy, do you?"

Experts agree that parents should try not to give biting so much attention that it becomes an attention-getter. This is true of all behavior that you don't want to see repeated. Firmly tell the child again that there is no biting allowed, that it is wrong, and that it hurts people.

Systematic Training For Effective Parenting

It's been noted by experts that by age 15, the average child has spent more time watching television than sitting in a classroom.

Children with low self-esteem deal with making a mistake quite differently. If children don't have respect for peers, authority, or themselves, it's almost impossible for them to succeed. For example, if you catch your son and his friends smoking, you might "ground" him by restricting his social activities for two weeks. Setting limits also provide children with guidance before they have an opportunity to get into trouble, thus making them more successful with everyday life. Allow your child to express themselves through their interests. Through play children learn basic concepts such as colors, counting, how to build things, and how to solve problems.

Let your child know what they did right and reward them for it before you let them know what they did wrong and punish for misbehaving or a misdeed.

This is also a great time to include some responsibility in your child's routine, such as helping to set or clear the table.
Maintain a consistent daily routine for your child as much as possible, and make sure your child gets lots of physical activity and time to play and socialize with their friends. A serious repetitive pattern of lying should be cause for concern. A divorce, serious family illness or problems at school may be at the root. A good rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age. Rules regarding how many hours per week can be spent on video game playing, what time a child is expected home for dinner, what time each night homework is to be completed, or how late a teenager is allowed to stay out on weekend nights are all rules that can be discussed openly and honestly between you and your child. You have to stand firm and mean it when you say, "Turn off the television now"or "no dessert after dinner because you didn't touch your dinner.
