I had a problem with my son biting----just out of the blue--- no reason at all. I tried the biting route. Nothing worked. Just time and patience and explaining that it was not a pleasant experience for the victim.

For biting and tantrums on the floor there are two remedies. Biting - bite him/her back as hard as you can - in our case it stopped. Tantrums - if he/she falls down to the floor help them up with a good spanking till they up on their feet again. It helped with both our kids - 40 years back. Don't know if they will sue you today.

Unfortunetly this happens from age two when this is their form of communication they cant explain themselves at this age that they happy, sad, glad, mad, angry, hurt ect and they do it out of reaction to what they feel the only way to channel it correctly is when you feel happy or proud with them hug them or kiss them show them you dont bite and then when the bite get them to bite into a block of soup and if that dont work use chillie sauce and some people say if that didnt work for them they would bite the child back to feel what if feels like and they will soon learn they cant bite. I remember going through this with my two year old last year there where atleast five biters in the class which can also make it difficult for your child if there are others doing the biting in class which us as parents must speak up and encourage our child care provider to help this situation to teach all the biters same lessons cant just be your child punished for bititing but all the other biters too should be punished as this age monkey see monkey do. Good luck all the best and remember youre a great parent

Use Eno's in stead of Chillies. Children cant stand the bubbly sensation in their mouths. A teaspoon full helps

He is biting you because he is overstimulated and his arousal level is high whether excited or angry. He needs the deep pressure or proprioception he's getting from biting to calm him down. Try replace this with something more appropriate like a chewy toy or squeezy ball. Let him carry it with him all the time, in his pocket or on a necklace etc. Everytime he has the urge to bite, tell him to use his toy and start a reward chart for the behavior. He will love it and the inappropriate behavior will fade away. Biting him back or a spank is painful and only a temporary solution. The little guy is seeking extra input - so give it to him in other ways! Try it. Good luck!
