my knee jerk reaction would be to check for any abuse issues, day care is mostly minimum wage, so time to nanny cam somehow -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 18:55 8
- Seriously? - Stephen Sep 9, 19:02 5
  - (He means abuse on the part of the daycare employees, not the parents.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:04 4
    - Oh, I know. My reaction is the same. - Stephen Sep 9, 19:09 1
      - Ah, yeah. I see what you mean. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:10
    - I think it's still a leap. biting is pretty commong. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:05 1
      - yep. my abuse concern would be more of the how they react kind, as below. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 19:07
- OH! we have a day care with web cams here - it's such an awesome idea - specially for moms that miss their kids - GOOD idea! Maybe there's a day c - JenBro Sep 9, 18:57

do you know why he's doing it? is he frustrated or not getting attention or...? - b. Sep 9, 18:43 12
- It's all at daycare, and yesterday was the first I heard of it. Today I hear they are going to "isolate" him next week. Hrm. I have doubts about that. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 18:45 11
  - "isolate" him as in time-out? because that seems appropriate to me. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 18:55 9
    - Sounded more like quarantine. Time-out definitely is appropriate for biting another kid. - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:02 8
      - unfortunately, from what i'm reading from quick googles, it seems like isolating is actually recommended to deal with biting in daycare. - TFox Sep 9, 19:06 4
        
        *ding* "He/she may just be overtired" - every night this week he's slept from 7PM to 5AM. That's fucking unheard of. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:09 1
        
        (hah, I just realized that a non-parent would have no idea what this meant.) - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:11
        
        separating is different than actual isolation, though. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 19:08 1
        
        Indeed, and they recommend at that link having the biter help in the treatment process ... that would be useless for baby k, he wouldn't understand .. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:09
      - IANAP, but do they understsand timeout at 14 months? -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:06
      - does a 14-month old understand isolation, though? some kind of time-out, like a "time-out" chair or another nanny thing is one thing..but there's no - b. Sep 9, 19:05 1
        
        from what i'm reading, the isolation is less about teaching the biter, and more about protecting the other kids. - TFox Sep 9, 19:08
  - me, too. :/ that's pretty brutish to me, vs. dealing with why and actively working on changing the behavior. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 18:52
take away his credit card! -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 18:35 1
- No, silly, that's how you stop a rhino from charging. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 18:39
Super Nanny! -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:35
I saw this in a movie -- (link) - peglegpete Sep 9, 17:35
Bite them back! - Stephen Sep 9, 17:34 1
- And obviously... - Stephen Sep 9, 17:44

tobasco sauce? - JenBro Sep 9, 17:27 2
- the kid will just get a taste for tobasco sauce. and once they've got a taste, they'll just want more and more -- nm - moles Sep 9, 17:38 1
  - and that's bad? :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 18:05
There was a "biter" at my daughter's preschool; from what I remember we were told it was out of frustration and inability to recognize pain in others. - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:27
Bery, give it up. He won't nurse from you. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 17:25
He's 14 months already? Wow the ST kids are growing up fast -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:17 2
- Almost. I rounded up. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 17:21 1
  - I even thought he was younger than 1 and I watched his birthday video. - Bacon Sep 9, 17:22
