Now I'm a Believer!!
I'll admit I had nothing to lose here. My 3 year old son was coming home from daycare with 2-3 "Incident Reports" per day. 95% were for biting. I even had to suffer the indignity of a school meeting to discuss his behavior and if "there were any changes in his home life?". No. There weren't. His biggest life change was moving from the 2 year old classroom (no biting) to the 3 year old classroom (raving, biting lunatic). I'll also add that he has some mild speech and motor delays. Oh, and at the ripe age of 3 years and 2 months finally started to cut his 2 year molars. It really was the Perfect Storm for biting. And bite he did. He was biting teachers, his friends, his enemies. They even once told me he was sitting in a circle perfectly calm and literally just leaned over to bite the kid next to him. He'd also bite to protect his territory or when feeling crowded. This went on for about 6 weeks and I was at my wits end. Found this book somehow and thought I'd give it a try. The day after I started reading it he bit ONE TIME. I was thrilled. Not a single incident the next 2 days and now I'm a believer. I was worried that it would be too "babyish" for him. It sort of is but somehow still captures his attention. He almost fixates on the page where the girl his holding her arm and crying. He keeps repeating "he bit her?" out loud as if the boy in the book committed such a shameful act. Not sure what he thinks HE'S been doing for the past 6 weeks but whatever works. I was about to start sending him to school in one of those Hannibal masks...but this was SOOOO much easier.
