Help! My Two-Year-Old Granddaughter Won't Stop Biting

I usually don't promote hurting a child like spanking or slapping but I do recommend the biting back just so a child realizes what they are doing. If you can put your hand in their mouth to nudge it wider as they are getting ready to bite you then you may be able to keep them from biting. If you aren't careful the child could just bite your hand. Remember you are going to have to slide your hand out of the mouth quickly or it will get bit. Biting is a horrible stage but with a bite back it should end.

I know that what I am about to say MAY sound bad...BUT...it WILL work...and you will only have to do it once...MAYBE twice... This is what you do. Go to the refrigerator and get out a bottle of hot sauce. Get a paper towl and smear some hot sauce on your arm. It will smell bad, just do it. Now, go sit in your chair and wait. When your grandaughter comes in to chomp down, she will get that hot sauce taste in her mouth and you say "oh no, people taste bad, dont bite" and take her straight to the kitchen for a cold wet towel to put in her mouth for the pain. Explain to her that when you bite poeple, they taste bad, and you should NEVER bite people. She will never do it again.

That is a great idea. and it probably will work, as long as your grandbaby does not like hot sauce (my nephew has loved it since he was about 2) Good luck with it.
