This picture is hilarious. Unless, of course, you have teeth marks on your cheek. Any suggestions for stopping this horrible habit? I would really like to be in the "Look back and laugh" stage with this one!
It does sound like the cruelest thing in the world, but Emily is right. When Taylor was biting I would bite him wherever he had just bitten someone. After a couple times he was done biting. (Steph got mad at me for doing it though.)
Only one suggestion....don't read her the Twilight book series ....she might just think biting it very cool! Thanks for lending me the books Melinda I am almost through reading the first book and can't wait to see the movie now.
Thanks so much for your post and phone message. You are very thoughtful, oh so kind, and just a plain wonderful friend! You always know just what to say. THANK YOU! I'm sorry I've not been around much. Life should be back to normal this weekend. I think we need another girls' night...
As for the biting thing, Oliver used to do that when he was little. Not hard, mind you, but hard enough. I was worried he would someday break skin. The training book told me to flick him on the nose, and it really helped. Might need to do something a little different with a child rather than a puppy. :) Good luck! That wasn't something we covered in Love and Logic.
A friend of mine recomends a book called "No Biting". It's written for daycare providers, so it shouldn't involve physical punishment... Good Luck! BTW, that picture is soooooo cute and funny! I love it!
That is a great picture! I have no suggestions-but I can commiserate a bit. Lucy's not biting, but she is starting to pinch and hit me. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to bite until one of his friends bit him back and cured him! Good luck!

Oh My!
ReplyDeleteNone of my kids have been biters, so I don't know what to tell you to do about that one!
Good luck!
