I have a dcg that is 15 months old. I had to talk with her mom today bc dcg has been hitting. I explained that children at this age tend to play rough bc they are unaware how they are touching with an open hand. Dcg ' s hitting has been occurring more and more out of anger and frustration. So I asked that we both work on having her use her words more positive reinforcement for good behavior and telling dcg "No".
Dcm responds by telling me that dcg bite her last night for telling her no. She said both her and Dcd have been bite in the past too. Now I'm afraid that she will bite one of the other kids.
How do i handle this? I have been keeping her at my side all day but she still manages to push or hit at times right in front of me. What kind of policy do you gals have for biting?
