5 Steps to Stop Toddler Biting in its Tracks

A biting toddler is no joke, friends.

A while back I wrote about How to Get a Baby to Stop Biting, and after using the steps I discussed in that post, we effectively managed to stop our son from biting. Funny enough at the end of that post I wrote, “I am vigorously reinforcing ‘No biting’ and keeping a very watchful eye, as biting will surely rear its ugly head once again at some point down the road.”

Well, that definitely happened. At 14 months, our son and biting fell madly in love, and as a mother, it seemed there was little I could do to break them apart. It’s one of those moments in motherhood when you realize you have a serious problem on your hands.

By serious I mean…

He was biting me incessantly, running after me with his arms and mouth wide open ready to chomp down.

He was also biting other children incessantly, running after them with his arms and mouth wide open.

For me, this was the breaking point. He was unsafe to be around other children without being watched intensely 100% of the time. I could not look away for a second. Something had to be done. There are several steps to lead your child down a bite free path (#5 is the clincher and probably the least wise of all!).

How to Stop Toddler Hitting – The Easy Way!

1. Tell the child “No biting.”

We worked really hard to teach “no biting,” knowing Jameson would eventually learn the meaning of this phrase through frequent repetition. In order to teach “no biting,” I get down to his eye level and look him directly in the eye. I wait until he is looking at me, then say “no biting” while using a grimacing facial expression. I try to convey a calm tone without yelling.

2. Walk away.

In my post about stopping baby biting, the number one thing that helped our son stop biting was sitting him down on the floor and walking away. It helped our son learn that biting is not rewarded with play, cuddles, or interaction from others. After telling my son “no biting,” I simply sit him on the floor and walk away a bit. You don’t have to go far.

I typically walk to the other side of the room and wait for a few minutes.

Returning to him after a few minutes, I remind him “no biting” and sit next to him. Some things that I read suggested saying “I love you” or offering kisses and cuddles at this point. However, we were dealing with a serious biting issue and my son was clearly confused that it was some sort of a game. I wanted to reinforce that the logical consequence of biting was not play or affection from me.

The whole process of saying “no biting” and walking away and then returning is only a matter of a few minutes. Then we move on with our day.

3. Examine the cause.

Toddlers may often have a reason for biting. Treating the underlying cause may easily eliminate biting, and if used in conjunction with the above two steps, I think there is a good chance for success.

Here are a few common causes I discovered:

Teething → I try managing the child’s pain as best I can with teething toys to chew on and over the counter Tylenol, if needed.
Boredom → I try to make things a little more exciting around the house. Dance parties are always fun!
Frustration → I try to repeat back what I hypothesize my son is trying to do or say.
Seeking attention → I try to offer more quality time.
Tired → I start getting sleep in order by reading some good information about sleep.
Lack of language skills → I use baby sign language and again try to repeat back what I think my son is trying to say.
Experimenting → Sometimes kids are just testing the waters.

4. Prevent the problem.

If I know there is a type of activity or situation when my toddler is more likely to bite, I try avoiding those types of situations. This seems really obvious, right? And it isn’t always easy to avoid situations, especially when real life happens and you have to leave the house and be around others at some point. This brings me to my last and final step.

5. Avoid resorting to desperate measures.

As a mother, I hope to use gentle parenting methods throughout parenthood, especially since research shows that harsh discipline actually causes more behavioral problems than gentle parenting. But that’s a whole other post.

My son continued to bite me, my husband, and other kids. Actually, he pretty much tried to bite everyone. All. The. Time.

It was a terrible, terrible problem. After completing all the above steps, I was truly at a loss. I was in the midst of a motherhood crisis, incapable of teaching my toddler that biting was not okay. I talked to a lot of other moms about this topic, seeking advice. I researched about biting on the internet, scouring to find any method I could.

If you read expert recommendations they will tell you never to bite your child back. I agree that inflicting pain on your child is not a wise parenting method. If you read many forums I found parents advocating for biting a child back. Several parents that I personally spoke with told me to bite my son back. Other parents said biting your child and inflicting pain is abuse. These are merely the facts.

Because he was biting so frequently, I felt a lot of pressure to do something fast to get my son to stop biting.

And then it happened…

I bit my kid.

It was enough to hurt him without breaking the skin.

Horrible! It’s was one of my bad mom moments, but I was at a cross-roads. Something had to change, and I was willing to try anything at that point. I actively tried to prevent him from biting.

Horrendous, I know! I did not want to bite him, but I felt I needed to follow through. He was never bruised, nor were there teeth marks.

Now please, don’t send me hate mail…

I realize that biting your child isn’t a wise idea. I am in no way advocating for parents to bite their children. I am simply sharing my experience. In fact, if you have tips and suggestions for how to stop biting, I would love to hear your ideas in the comments because I could really use some help! I do not plan on biting him again. It’s just not the route I want to travel down. I am continuing with steps 1-4 to remind him not to bite others.

My son still needs gentle verbal reminders, but for the most part, we can go out in public again. He can be around other children without me worrying that his will take a giant bite of flesh, and that is a very good thing.

The best songs from Soviet cartoons: top 15 according to KP

Frame from the cartoon "Umka" (1969)

KP-Afisha previously introduced readers to the top best songs from Disney cartoons . This time we present the rating of the best songs from the Soviet animation years. Some of these compositions you know by heart - from early childhood.

1. "Stay with us boy"

Cartoon: "In the blue sea, in white foam" (1984)
Voice-over artist: Anahit Kanachyan

This song is performed by the daughter of the sea king - either a fish or a mermaid. The fisherman's grandson is not at all attracted by the prospect of "sowing wind in the sea": resorting to cunning, he returns the owner of the bottom of the sea to the bottom of the jug.

Fact: The music from the cartoon “Wind at sea, storm at sea…” can be heard in another animated film by Robert Saakyants - “Look, Maslenitsa!” (1985).

2. "If there was no winter"

Cartoon: "Winter in Prostokvashino" (1984)
Voice-over artist: Valentina Tolkunova

The song, which has become a big "winter" hit, sounds at the end credits of the cartoon. Well, her mother-skier performs her fragment near a snow-covered Christmas tree, decorated with dryers, vegetables and "old things".

Fact: If the animated films "Three from Prostokvashino" and "Vacations in Prostokvashino" were created based on the story "Uncle Fyodor, the dog and the cat", then the script for "Winter in Prostokvashino" was written by Eduard Uspensky "from scratch".

3. Mammoth Song

Cartoon: Mammoth Mammoth (1981)
Off-screen performer: Klara Rumyanova

A fearless mammoth on his "white ship" is sailing through the stormy sea to the distant southern shores - to where his mother lives.

Fact: Zara, Elena Temnikova, "Adventures of Electronics" and Lyubasha are among the artists who performed "The Little Mammoth's Song".

4. Live in a Magic Box

Cartoon: Separated (1980)
Voice-over artist: Mikhail Boyarsky

August the clown explains to the young acrobat Suok that the life of a circus performer, although hard, is incredibly interesting.

Fact: Puppet tape by Nikolai Serebryakov "Separated" - the second animation project based on the novel-fairy tale by Yuri Olesha "Three Fat Men": the first - cartoon cartoon released in 1990 .

5. “Clouds are white-maned horses”

Cartoon: “Shake! Hello!" (1980)
Off-screen performer: Klara Rumyanova

This song sounds at the end of the cartoon: fluffy clouds in daisies carry the Bear cub, the Hedgehog and the Hare to the fabulous Tilimilitryamdia.

Fact: Hello!" director Yuri Butyrin made three more animated films about the adventures of the Bear Cub and the Hedgehog (based on the scripts by Sergei Kozlov ): "Winter's Tale" (1981), "Autumn Ships" (1982) and "The Amazing Barrel" (1983).

6. "It's no secret that friends don't grow in the garden"

Cartoon: "Big secret for a small company" (1979)
Voiceovers: Tatyana and Sergey Nikitin

The main musical theme of this cartoon sounds on a record that the donkey plays on his magic gramophone.

7. Dream Song

Cartoon: Flying Ship (1979)
Off-screen performers: Mikhail Boyarsky, Tatyana Shabelnikova, Garry Bardin, Mark Aizikovich

If Zabava and Ivan dream of simple family joys, then the frankly cynical Polkan strives exclusively for monetary gain - he is sure that everything in this world is bought and sold. The tsar seems to want Zabava to be happy, but, alas, he believes that Polkan will suit her best.

Fact: Based on the cartoon, a musical was created - its premiere took place in 2010 at the Moscow Theater on Serpukhovka.

8. "Song of the Sawfish"

Cartoon: Puppy Blue (1976)
Voice-over artist: Alexander Gradsky

Deciding to destroy the Sailor's ship, the insidious Pirate launches the clockwork Sawfish: it tells us its biography, and then saws the sailor's ship in a matter of seconds.

Fact: The Blue Puppy is not the only animation project Gradsky has worked on. His vocal parts can be heard in "The Legend of the Old Lighthouse" and "The Pass", "The Princess and the Ogre" and "Stereotypes".

9. “Real friend!”

Cartoon: "Timka and Dimka" (1975)

10. Dolphins

Animation: On the Port (1975)
Off-screen performers: Oleg Anofriev, Valentina Tolkunova, Melodiya Ensemble

Fact: Although the cartoon is only 16 minutes long, it has nine songs.

11. Smile

Cartoon: Little Raccoon (1974)

Cartoon: "Katerok" (1970)

Fact: “Blue Water” performed by Aida Vedischeva is another famous song from the cartoon “Katerok”.

14. Winnie the Pooh

Cartoon: Winnie the Pooh (1969)

Dog Biting

Text

Chorus:
Dogs can bite
Only from the life of a dog
Only from life, from the life of a dog
A dog can bite.
The dog grabs the heel with its teeth,
Dog eats civilian horse
And with her a citizen of a cat,
When a dog lives - not in a booth,
When her stomach howls
And it is clear to everyone that this dog is an orphan.
Nobody grabs the heel with their teeth,
Nobody eats a citizen's horse
And with her a citizen of a cat,
When a dog has a kennel and a bowl,
Moon and sausage in the stomach.
And it is clear to everyone that this dog is not an orphan.
Chorus.
The unfortunate dog is very dangerous,
After all, she is terribly unlucky in this life,
It's terrible how unlucky she is,
Therefore she barks like a dog,
Therefore, she is evil, like a dog.
And it is clear to everyone that this dog gnaws on everyone indiscriminately.
Beautiful dog sitting in a booth,
Forget-me-nots bloom in her soul,
A clarinet plays in the stomach,
But jokes with a stray dog homeless
Dangerous especially at midnight dark.
Here's the biggest, here's the biggest dog's secret!
Chorus

Translation

Chorus:
The dog there is
Only from life dog
Only from life, from a life dog
The dog there is.
The dog is missing teeth for the heel,
The dog eats the citizen horse
And with her citizen cat,
When a dog resides is not in the booth,
When she wails in the stomach an orphan.
No missing teeth for the heel,
Nobody eats a horse citizen
And with her citizen cat,
When the dog has a doghouse and bowl,
The moon and in the stomach sausage.
And everyone understands that this dog is not an orphan.
Chorus.
The dog is unhappy is very dangerous,
After all, she was not lucky in this life terrible,
Bad as her luck,
So she barks like a dog
She's so evil, like a dog.
