daycare twos teacher here. I get the daycares logic BUT are they talking to him about other choices other than biting? I feel like giving him his paci when he bites is teaching him that if he bites he gets the thing he wants. In my room we had one paci when angry child. He was told he had to sit at the table with it, with ONLY a puzzle. We would also sit and talk about why he was angry and other choices (calm down little monkey is a great board book for this). If he wanted to keep the paci, fine, but he had to stay at the table. When he realized he was missing the fun, he ditched the paci.
