How do you stop a 4yo boy from biting?
Question: This is my great-grandson. He was an 'angel' until just recently. Last week, playing, he hit another boy to tears, and yesterday, I took him to McDonald's to play in the tubes, and he bit a little boy while in there. I immediately took him out, and took him home, and no cartoons last night. I talked to him about it, but wonder why kids do this, and how can I help him get over it? He is an only child.
Answers:
This may sound horrible, but I broke my oldest daughter with it...The ONLY way to break him of it, is to bite him back. Now wait, before you freak out, understand this... you don't have to even leave marks, and don't bite him hard at all, just enough to hurt his feelings.... I sWEAR this works, almost magically. You can take away ALL of the things he loves, but he will continue to bite, unless you show him how it feels to be bitten. HONESTLY IT WORKS...
Bite him back and show him how bad it hurts.
