Biting:
As unpleasant as it sounds biting does occur in group environments. Predominantly seen in the toddler and twos classrooms, biting is used by children for a variety of reasons. For some it is due to frustration, others to anger, and still others due to physical changes such as teething. At Googols we like to try to work with the child and their family until they are through the phase. This too shall pass! It is very difficult to be the parent of the child being bitten. It is equally difficult to be the parent of a biting child. Some of the techniques we utilize are, separating one child from another particular child, 'shadowing' a child (keeping him or her next to a teacher all day), and of course, verbal discussion, such as 'teeth are not for biting', 'biting hurts', 'we need to use soft touches with our friends', and 'only food should go in our mouths'. Biting does appear to be a cyclical thing which may occur in a classroom for a period and then run its course.
