Biting is a problem that runs more than skin-deep. It can affect any toddler in any setting and can have developmental, emotional, or environmental causes. An “unfortunately not unexpected” occurrence among toddlers, biting is not just a physical act. It is a serious, complicated issue that brings frustration to the biter, the one who was bitten, parents, and child care providers. This book offers technique-building advice for approaching biting in ways that work effectively for everyone involved.
The second edition of No Biting is expanded and updated with chapters that provide information on why toddlers bite, how to respond when it happens, and how to handle ongoing incidents, instruction on how to develop biting policies, recommended articles to learn more about biting, sample letters to parents, policy statements, and incident reports, new material on how language development and spatial awareness can lead to biting, additional guidance for working with parents.
Perhaps no other concern in toddler programs challenges teachers and parents as much as biting does. This how-to handbook helps you work through biting with successful strategies and trusted guidance. (Description by BarnesandNobles.com)
