My dd didn't start talking much until recently. She was also a biter. She was quite a handful at that age, but she was the only one, so it was easier for us in some respects. All I can say is, remain persistant and he will stop. Some people use the word consistant, but I use persistant, because every day and every situation is different and being consistant doesn't always work for that reason, but being persistant often does.

Here's some advice that worked for us that we still use. Catch him being good. Make a sticker chart with rewards for good behavior. Make a list of the behaviors you want to work on. That list may be very long to start out with, but slowly it will diminish.

I posted a good article on biting here - http://www.babyuniversity.com/forums...d.php?t=141867

In fact, the site posted is a pretty good resource on difficult toddler behavior.

Good luck with your little one. I hope he learns to use his words and stop biting soon.

Cody *couldn't* talk at that age, which caused a lot of difficulties with him expressing himself. He would grunt, hit, bite, etc. Have you spoken with his ped about the fact that he's not talking yet? There could very well be some developmental issues that ultimately affect his personality. I mean think about it ... if you couldn't talk, how else would you let people know what you wanted? Have you tried sign language with him? This helped with Cody somewhat.

That's good! We couldn't get anything going with Cody until he was 3, so we lost that whole year. Hopefully you'll see a change in his frustration/anger when he start communicating better!

I wish I had some advice for you. I taught my ds some basic sign language and it helps him communicate. Do you have a play group or something where he can interact with kids his own age? Have you tried spending some one on one time with him? I hope you find a solution.

I told my dh that he can't tell our kids about his younger days and I pray that don't do some of the things he did.

I feel your pain hon. Nick is EXACTLY the same way. He screams, screeches, rants and raves. He headbutts the floor....HARD when he doesn't get his way for anything...and I mean literally anything
