Understanding and Responding to Biting
Biting is a typical behaviour often seen in infants, toddlers and 2 year olds. As children mature, gain self-control and develop problem-solving skills, they usually outgrow this behaviour. While not uncommon, biting can be an upsetting behaviour for all involved.
This webinar will help you to understand the reasons young children bite and give you ideas and strategies for responding appropriately.
