Being a 6th grade teacher, I know how a student has to really push your buttons before you write him/her up. I usually give more than enough chances before I result to something so drastic. In fact, I have only written up one student in my three years due to behavior in my classroom.
Well, it is quite the opposite for my little baby. Ryan was written up THREE times in school on Friday. She bit three different children at three different times in the day. The write up said...
"9:00 Ryan bit another child while playing. She was removed from that child and had a discussion about why we do not bite friends."
The next write up said, "9:15. Ryan bit another child in the face while playing. She was taken away from the other children."
The final write up said, "12:15. While playing Ryan got upset and bit a child's finger. She was taken away from the group (put in crib) and talked to about not biting friends."
Ya'll, whose child is this? Did I raise this vigilante biter? You know what is so funny is that I thought to myself, she does not bite, she just gives aggressive kisses. WRONG, this little chomper has tried to bite me three different times today alone, and totally out of anger. Once I was trying to change her diaper (which she has grown to hate) and I laid her down and she grabbed my hand and bit it. Then, I would not give her her bottle for lunch and she bit my leg. Then, I was undressing her for her bath and she literally pulled my arm over and screamed and bit it. Each time she bites me I give her a mini spaknin and say "NO" very firmly, which further pisses her off, but you know- she is just gonna have to deal with that.
I am just so shocked that Ryan is reacting this way, and even worse out of anger. Her little temper has really started to rear its ugly head. I love it how everytime she does something aggressive, everyone always says, "Oh, now I see Jenny in her!" Haha really funny people, like Bill never loses his cool.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I mean I want to be firm with her and let her know it is unacceptable, but you know she is also 11 months old. My mom said this is just the beginning of her testing me, but I think she's been secretly preparing me for 10 months now.
On an exciting note, the little pirana just turned 11 months and the plans are in full swing for her 1st birthday party. She is starting to cruise like crazy, which bugs me, I am not ready for her to walk yet, I like holding her too much. She climbs the stairs as often as possible, she is not even taking a break between steps anymore, she just jets right up there. She is also saying all kinds of words, MaMa, Dada, Dog (Da), BaBa (bottle), Hi, Bye Bye, High Five (she really does say this, pretty hilarious). I cannot believe how much she has changed.
As long as she can adapt to wearing a muzzle, then we should be good to go!

when I was around 3 I wandered off in Army housing to a black person's house to play with my friend. Mom and Dad and Charlie and Rosie going around house to house to check to see if I was there. They FINALLY found me and I BIT Charlie all the way back while he was dragging me back holding my arm--I knew a MAXI spanking was waiting for me. LOLOL-she's a doll. We can't wait to see her again.
bite her back. i mean it!!!! get the tip of her finger, and bite down with just enough pressure to make her holler. she'll learn how it feels and eventually stop.
of course, she'll eventually stop anyway. everything is a stage ;)
OMG...so funny! Me, Britanny, Kent, and Kevin are sitting here laughing about the little parauna! That little squirt...that is ridiculous that they continue to "write her up" for biting. I mean she's 11 months. Maybe just a conversation with mom! I mean what are you suppose to do? Ground her?
Some kids are biters. Usually it's the kid of the parent who said, "MY child will never bite and freaked out when someone else's kid got bitten." They explore everything with their mouths. I watched a precious girl just lick blocks this morning in the nursery at church. Jack has been bitten badly recently. Luckily, he's my third kid. Then, he bit someone else. Luckily, he's my third kid. I didn't freak out either time. Just redirect (as it sounds like the teachers did) and if you take her to a new environment like church...you need to let the teachers there know so they can watch with a bit more care. Kids are fast. When folks blame the teachers, they have never watched a group of "creepers" before.... They are crazy fast! Love on her. Redirect. This too shall pass. (You hope!) Biting at 18 would be weird...though folks really are into the whole vampire thing these days. ;)
I was a biter. My mom said I came home from an in-home daycare once with a bite mark and never bit again. She was pretty sure it was the lady keeping me who left the teeth marks but she didn't care since it solved the problem!
