General [ return ] From Message Belinda Unregistered 26/12/2005 10:22:57 Subject: Behavior: Biting IP: Logged Message: My darling son (16 months) has just started biting me. He doesn't do it in anger and it's not part of his tantrum routine (which is impressive). He just seems to be doing it for efect. To top it all after he bites and I say no, he kisses me better and looks very pleased with himself. Should I make a fuss about the biting or will it go away of its own accord?

I just used to let him get on with it, providing he wasn't harming himself. Although it was awkward in public places where the disapproving looks of other people made me feel uncomfortable. However his behaviour eventually changed and he is now a happy, loveable and generally reasonable child. I think it is all to do with his ability to communicate and once he was able to express himself more clearly he stopped getting so cross.
