Agree. They don't listen and it's hard to communicate with a 2 year old anyway. Kids at that age are like animals (really) - they only understand negative and postive reinforcement. When you talk nice to them and try to explain things, they don't get the message. You could probably tower over him, use your mean Daddy voice and intimidate the crap out of him - get your message across without getting physical. My mean Mommy voice is legendary in our house - when I break it out, kids start scurrying.Originally posted by joeyinlexpark
This "nice touches Sean" is a crock!!!
I agree to some extent, but you can't really argue with the results. I don't think anyone's advocating biting the kid's arm off - just give him enough to feel some discomfort. You're not supposed to leave bruises or marks on your kid.Originally posted by cmcdanal
I just want to go on record as saying that I think biting your kid is wrong.
so you say a bite for a bite...why didnt you then jam their fingers into the outlets, to learn them to not touch?:shrug:Originally posted by Kain99
I was never much of a spanker. When the kids were little I definitely swatted their butts for going towards the road, touching outlets etc.
All of that aside I have to agree that situation is very serious.
I say bite him back. The Daycare Center cannot keep a biter... No Center can.
Teach him the quick way. You cannot reason with a two year old.
