Recurrent biting - 08-08-07 18:48
by: newsetting
We have a little girl at our setting who is just two. She bites up to 10 times a day some days. We have had so much trouble with her. So far, we have tried time out when she bites, sticker charts when she doesnt bite, providing constant (and i mean CONSTANT!) activities for her throughout the day so she doesnt get bored, sand timers, we have had the area SENCO in to monitor her behaviour, we have also have a behavioual pschyologist in to look at what we are doing. Everyone has come up with the same conclusion-Developmental behaviour. My concern is that the other parents are now (quite rightly) concerned about the safety of their own children. One parent reported us to OFSTED, saying that we must be neglecting the children for her child to be bitten so many times. We werent negligent and OFSTED did not uphold their complaint. We now have three staff members in the room with between 6 and 8 two year olds. However, I am really concerned that this child is having a detrimental effect on my business as parents are increasingly complaining about the biting. Any advice from anyone? Help me please!!!
