Question
My guy just turned two and has been in daycare since 12 weeks. My husband and I both work full time and right now it's the only option. We love his school. It's very enriching and he's learned a ton, except... in the past few months I am getting a call weekly that my child has been bit. He has to bruises on his back right now from bites. He had one on his arm, another on his hand. The directors and teachers keep saying "it's developmentally appropriate at this age" blah blah blah.... one or two bites, I get... weekly? Not ok. They won't tell us who is doing the biting and they won't tell us if it is a repeat offender (but at this point it has to be or every kid in the class has taking a shot at my kid). Instead they are trying to say my 2 year old needs to start saying "Stop, I don't like that." They say part of the problem is that he is one of the only vocal kids... meaning the others don't speak and take they frustration out by biting. He has started telling me "Bobby bite me" "Suzy bite arm" ...
What the heck do we do? I do not want my guy getting aggressive and biting because it's happening to him. How can we continue to make school a fun place for him and keep him safe?
