babies bite while satisfying your natural curiosity; when I Express delight; to ease the sore gums (teething); the manifestation of atavism ([ FR.atavisme lat. Atavi ancestors] Biol.
the Appearance in the offspring the characteristics of his distant ancestors (usually of the phenomena of degeneration); the same as reversion). Let us examine a concrete example of how secured this form of behaviour in children:


the Children quickly learn to manipulate loving people. The child suckles. Calms down... Biting... the Mother screams ... the Baby smiles Mother smiles in response. So a few times. The child understands that is smiling and mom is not angry anymore You can bite on.


What to do in this situation:


-to Take the breast;


-Say with a stern voice: "you can not Bite!"


the Reasons that the child bites after 2 years:


- muscle Weakness and reduced sensitivity of the skin in the region of the mouth. Such children are
often long nipple suck, are late in speech development. (Need intense stimulation in the mouth area. To enter into the diet of solid foods – carrots, Apple. Learning to blow bubbles, inflate balloons, playing a pipe, to strengthen the mouth exercises).


- the Child is in a state of agitation, fatigue, discomfort, and so expresses negative emotions. (to "blow off steam": throw the ball, beat a pillow, a change of activity. The transition to quiet activities or conversely , the more active).


-protects Child toy, protecting its territory.
-Wants to get something but doesn't know how to do it differently.

- Still can't empathize with other people.

- Trying to attract attention, which he lacks.
- Too severely punished by the parents.

Before we discuss what to do, let me give you another example:


a Girl. 2 years and 6 months. Aggressive towards peers. Bitten in the garden 3 children. The family beats and bites everyone except my grandfather.

Aggressive behaviors in young children often associated with a family atmosphere. The family may be allowed
aggressive behavior towards a child or between family members. Becoming the norm, such behavior is to be transferred to the garden or the yard. Here you need to analyze the relationship between grandfather and granddaughter. What helped to achieve what girl doesn't hit him and doesn't bite? When the aggressive manifestations of the need to present a United front to protect each other. For example: a girl bit the mom. Grandma can say, "you can Not bite my daughter!". If the girl swung at an adult hit or bitten by the peer – to emphasize that the girl did was bad. But not to respond with aggression, as this behavior is to gain a foothold. To exclude aggressive manifestations of all family members. To teach constructively to throw out the aggression.

So what to do if a child bites:


-Observe - in what situations the child begins to bite. To anticipate and prevent these situations.


- whenever an adult sees that the child is going to bite, put his hand to his mouth and strictly say, "you can not Bite!".


- If the child was bitten. To put your hand to your mouth and say, "No biting people! If you want to bite, bite...(a toy, a carrot). The toy didn't hurt, but... (daddy van) hurts."


- If the child was bitten over a toy another child: "You wanted to play with this ball? You need to ask.
you can not Bite!"


If a child has bitten another child. Time to pay the offended boy. Be sure to respond
to bite. To explain why not to bite. Ask the child to regret hurt the baby. Not be ashamed of. Not to force to apologize.
