And so it started....

Ok, I still really like the daycare...

but last night as I changed Justin into his PJ's I notice a nice big bite mark on his back. He said it didn't hurt and when I asked if he cried, he exclaimed NO (cos big boys don't do that I guess ). It was hard enough that you could make out all the teeth. So this morning I called and talked to Ms. Sara. She said that they have a pair of siblings in the class that are new and think it is one of them. There have been other issues of trying to get attention from the other, so she was looking at making a change anyway and this has pushed her to make one. She is also going to tell the teacher to keep an eye out for anymore biting incidents. Then she thanked me profusely for letting her know.

It's always something! *SIGH*

The poor 'fella! I have a biter so I can't say anything mean about the child who bit him, but I do hope that they keep a better eye on the kids so they can do something when it happens (punish the child who bit and make sure the child who got bit is okay). Justin is a brave boy to not cry.

i understand that biting happens - it's part of the stage. However, I get really annoyed when they can't tell me what happened or WHO it was.

My kids aren't in daycare but my friend's daughter is and got bit once and wasn't told who did it. She was told they didn't give out that information because they didn't want the parent going after that chid or their parents. She was told that the biter's parents are told what they did so they can hopefully do something at home about the biting. Not being the one who's child has gotten bit, I can understand their point of view (especially since my child would probably be the biter!)

I know Lisa - I worded it wrong after I hit submit.
They couldn't tell us the name at my daycare either. But - at least I wanted them to know who actually did the biting.
If they say "We don't know who did it." That's what would upset me. I feel for the price you pay - they should be watching your kids. Ya know?

We had that happen a few times when Drew was in daycare and they had the same policy - they would tell me about it, but not the name of the kid that did it. But since Drew always told me who it was, it was a moot point! LOL! But they grow out of it pretty fast - it just seems to take forever!

at least she isn't going to ignore the behaviour. Nick has been biting lately too...and I have no idea how to stop him from doing it

Poor baby!

I would have lost my head over something like that when I was working in daycare. Whew. We had to document everything. If we knew that it happened, we had to write it up. We had to tell the biter's parents that he/she bit and we also had to at least inform the victim's parents that they were bitten. I mean, I'd rather be told that my child got bitten than to have the parent find it themself.

I can tell you how we cured Drew of biting, but you won't like it. All it took was one time and he never bit again. He ran up one day and bit Rick on the inner thigh (right next to the "jewels"). Rick picked him up and bit him in the same place. Not enough to leave a mark, but hard enough to hurt. He never bit anyone again. I hated it, but it worked! Did the same thing with Ally and it worked and she was much worse about it.
