My daughter is 17 months old, and she’s recently started biting other kids when they get in arguments over toys. Twice now she’s broken the skin of other kids. The day care is extremely scared of liability, so they sent her home for this week, which is very difficult as my wife and I both work and have no family or back-up day care in this area. Now they’re willing to take her back, but if she bites like this again, they say their going to kick her out. So I have two questions:
1) Have you had this situation (the biting) and how did you resolve it?
2) Isn’t it a bit extreme to kick out a 17 MONTH OLD for a pretty normal behavior?

For a little more background, I have two older kids (7 and 9) who never went through this. In fact, they WERE bitten in day care when they were young, and no kid every got kicked out for it. Also, we have always had doubts about the toddler’s teacher and her ability to handle any kind of issue – this has really confirmed it.

THANKS!
FOr those who have zero experience with kids, your answers are not helpful. For those who think that a 17-month old biting is uncommon and bizarre, you’re completely wrong. (http://pediatrics.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=pediatrics&cdn=health&tm=63&gps=114_14_989_561&f=00&tt=14&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.keepkidshealthy.com/parenting_tips/ep/biting.html). Again, read up before you accuse someone of bad parenting.

ANYWAY, to give more details, the biting started with another kid biting her a few weeks back, and now she bites pretty much exclusively out of frustration, and specifically when another child tries to take something from her. She is the only child in her age group who talks, and that’s what she does at home to communicate with us. Since the other kids don’t respond to her words, she’s trying to make her point, especially when she’s being bullied. Hopefully that helps. At home, we really don’t have the opportunity to correct the problem since we use words
One more thing – I do feel terrible about this. My kids have been bitten before (hard!), so I understand how the other parents feel. But never once did it cross my mind that the other kids biting mine should be booted from day care. I knew it was a phase of exploration that kids go through, and I expected the child to get past that phase. I knew that my child might be bitten again, but I felt comfortable enough with that day care’s teachers to know that they would be monitoring things closely (and they were not bitten again afterward by the same child).

I just don’t feel that this day care is doing enough. They did the right thing by having her shadowed once, but afterward all I got was a report of how many times they thought she was trying to bite (that’s when they sent her home for a week).

I believe that the almost 00 a month I spend on this day care is for more than to watch my child – they are there to teach and care for her, too. And this should be included as part of that.

My son is 9.5 months and still uses a pacifier for sleeping and sometimes in the car, although the daycare gives it to him more than I do, and lately we’ve also been giving it to him in the evenings because he’s teething badly.

But next year, the school does not allow them for his age group. I want to start breaking him of it now so that he’s not using it anymore after his first birthday. Does anyone know of some successful techniques?

My daughter is 8 months 1 week old. She crawls with her tummy off the floor and she is already cruising around holding on to things and she even stands by herself supported by one hand on her push cart toy. She was not a premie and she’s already on level 3 food, eating teething biscuits and she doesn’t take a pacifier. When I am up after I put her to sleep at night I let her have my baby blanket that my mom crocheted for me when I was a baby. Then before I go to bed I remove it. Now it’s getting colder in the 30s to 40s at night and although she wears footed sleepers I still feel like she’s ready to keep the blanket with her the whole night. I think she sleeps better with it and after reading a lot online about this age group they tend to do better with a security object like a thin blanket or small think Teddy.

Im going to let her have her crocheted baby blanket. Ive tried breathing through it vs. A thin receiving blanket and because of it’s holes I’ve found the crocheted blanket being so much more breathier. Even bunched up I could breath just fine but with a thin receiving blanket it was somewhat resistant.

I know they say not until after a yr old but then Ive heard that most doctors say it’s fine as long as over 6 months and can roll independently.. So

How old was your baby when you gave them a blanket to sleep better?

What type of blanket?

What was your experience? Were they happier? Did it matter? Was there any problems?

Thanks

I’m 18 and I wear nothing but black it seems, which is getting to be really bland. I want to start adding colour to my wardrobe but I’m terrible at shopping and finding things that will look good on my body. My main issue is that I’m around 5’11” and 135 lbs, leaving me kind of skinny with C cups and very, very TALL. Pants are NEVER long enough for me, sleeves are always too short, and those baggy/flowy shirts that are so in right now look terrible on me because my boobs stretch out the top and completely obliterate any notion of my relatively small waist. I’m half black so I’m really tan with dark hair, and all the black clothes just make everything look so dark and imposing!

I’m not fishing for compliments or anything, I’m really critical about the way I look, but I desperately need some help knowing where to shop for clothes that will actually fit my body rather than hide it or look like tiny/short toddler clothes. Maybe something for tall women geared toward my age group, or any online stores? Thank you much!!

I’m not too familiar with premies, but I have a child in my room at the daycare I work at. He is 14 months old, size 3-6 month clothes are baggy on him, his soft spot is about the size of the top of a soda can and it is sunken in a pretty good bit. He crawls and pulls himself up but when assisted to walk he stiffens himself up to where he is very rigid and wont move anything. Is this normal for infants this age and being premature, or is there something wrong.

Also the childs physican has stated that he is normal size for his age group and that he has no medical problems at all when the child has sever exemia.
He was a month premature
Per talking to another relative of the child that comes to the center. The parents put regular baby lotion on his skin and it does nothing for it. I have asked the parents question about this child and they seem very distant, the only thing I have obtained from them is that he will be on formula until he is two years old.

We need to put up 2 baby gates. I’d like something very solid and sturdy.

1 will be for the staircase that leads down to the basement. I need something very solid for this door. Nothing that he can push on, break the gate loose and tumble down the stairs, but it also needs to be easy for the 5 years + age group to get in and out of.

I also need something that leads to the back of the house to keep little hands and feet out of the bathroom and bedrooms. I’m looking for something solid yet decorative for this area.

What have you had success with? What do you use?

Thanks in advance!
Great answer! I have a home Daycare too! =)

Hi

My Son is 5 years old and has just started in yr 1 at school, so this is his second year.
He did very well in school and was doing work above his age group he is a very bright button.
But he has only been back at school a week and last fiday the head teacher cam eout to me at pick up tiem and told me my son had been in her office for being very silly he had wiped glue over another childs clothes, amoungst other things not quite as bad.
She sai dthat he was on a red light as far as behaviour goes
Now today his teacher comes out of school over to my car to inform me that he is very naughty and the teachers are sick of him today he had been swinging on a little boys sling who has a broken arm and the boy was crying out in pain and my son wouldnt get off, alos he has been lashing out at other children!
I have noticed he seems a bit hiper so have changed his diet but this has not worked at all last night he woke at 3am crying for a drink and then was kicking and thrashing .
about nothing i do seems to make him realise how silly he is being i have emptied his room tonight of toys tv and play station he is gutted but i dont know what to do any help would be great!
He comes from a loving home an only child and has a mum and dad
To the person who said spank my son every night, here in the UK you can get arrested by the police for hitting kids i wouldn’t dream of doing that no child should be hit its cruel and would never work .

I cant belive that answer!
