I do write up an incident report and give a copy to both parents, and one for my file. Depending on the age of the child, and the reason behind the biting, I have a 3 bite rule. 3 bites in a week, and they are out. If the same child is constantly getting bit, you will likely lose that child, so I would rather term the biter than losing a child who isn't doing it.

I had an incident like this a couple of years ago. The little DCG was 2 and bit whoever was near her if they got too close. It seemed to always be the same child, and that parent was getting upset. So I started using the 3 bite rule and had to term the 2 yo.
