Being cared for

Scenario One: Biting

You have a child who bites other children. What are some strategies you might try? 

  1. Shadowing this child to prevent the biting by intervening quickly.
  2. Analysing with your staff what seems to be the trigger.
  3. Work to help them make friends and play. 
  4. Share with the parent what you are trying and reassuring them biting does happen and you are doing all you can to help the child find other strategies.
