[QUOTE="jal, post: 307336, member: 3477"] Star, I don't really have an answer as to how to stop it, but I can really empathize because this is what my difficult child started with-in daycare. My difficult child was around the same age as the child you write about. difficult child started biting one kid in particular and of course that child's parents were up in arms. So ensued meetings with the daycare director and teachers on how to curb this. Time out did nothing (difficult child never bought into time out-still to this day they can cause a tantrum and he's now 7). I consulted the pediatrician, who offered up time outs as the solution. Never quite figured out what triggered this, but it paved the way for a lot more to behaviors to come (tantrums, destroying the classroom, becoming a flight risk etc.-all at this young age of 3). The biggest downfall of the whole daycare experience for us was that pretty much as soon as things started to happen, they would call for us to come get him and that's what he wanted! The first time he was sent home, he went in the next day and kicked the director and said "go home now?" Ugh...difficult child's been through 4 daycares over the years. For the past year he no longer goes. I must say though, that the biting started as our difficult child was transitioned into a new group in the daycare. He was moving into a 3's group. He was verbal from a very early age. Also, another thing that happened around the time was that 2 daycare "teachers" that he really was attached to had left (one due to pregnancy and one went into the service). I don't know if these were the actual reasons as difficult child is verbal, but has a very hard time with his emotions and of course was too young to really tell us why. Has something changed in this childs environment? New teachers, routine or kids? Best of luck to the parents. I know how mortified they must be and what a toll something like this takes on you especially if you have to work and need the daycare. [/QUOTE]
