I've had a horrible day today! I had a new family start today and my 1 year old dkb bit their daughter once and my son TWICE! I don't see it coming cause it's not happening as a defense machinism (well it does but I SEE it then and stop it!). All three times the other child's hand was just there in front of him. I feel horrible that this lil girl's first day she got bit! And now I'm worried about the rest of the week! I gave him a really "chewy" toy (he is VERY oral stimulated) that he could chew on but eventually he would just throw it down. I feel bad constantly pulling him away from the other kids while he's playing but I never know when he's going to strike anytime. At least when it's used defensively I see the anger building up and can intervene before it happens. Any suggestions on how to keep him "orally busy"????
