A human bite is dangerous and can be traumatizing as well. A hit, push or kick is not even comparable in my opinion.
Terming the biter is sometimes the only answer.
Yes in my first post I said that. To us adults, we see the long term effects but the toddler that bites is the same as a child that hits. They are doing it to get their way, as a way of self defense or for attention... not because they see the long term effects.
We agree that terming the biter is not the only option we just worded it differently.
