Most common childhood biting happens between 8 months and 2.5 yrs old.
At 3 years old, she is plenty old enough to understand intentional behavior.
I agree. My DS went through a biting stage at about 18mos and again a month or two ago at 2.5! Obviously I cannot term my own child but with talking and a few days of intense shadowing and keeping him at my side and away from other kids he stopped. We also talked about it and he seemed to get it. But a girl at 3... I think she should know better. Especially when it's not due to a conflict WITH the victim but lashing out about mom. My DS bit when someone else hurt him or took a toy or something, not okay but not unprovoked I guess is what I'm trying to say?? I would conference with mom and say she must understand this isn't okay and she needs to be on board or she's 2 strikes away from leaving.
