Description: Biting is one of the most aggressive toddler behaviors that parents and childcare providers have to handle. Though the first bite can often com as a complete surprise--a normally mild-mannered child takes a chomp--the habit is a difficult one to break. This helpful guide provides parents and caregivers with recommendations for prevention, immediate intervention, and long-term solutions, and includes a puppet show script and a song that adults can use to help children learn to communicate without biting, hitting, or other inappropriate behavior.
Review Quotes: A wealth of information in an easy-to-read and accessible way. It's surprising that a book with

challenging behaviors, with a variety of populations. ...Demonstrates ... a solid knowledge
of early childhood development [and] a terrific grasp of how adults learn. -- Susan Einbender, Parent Advisor, Early Intervention at Pennsylvania School for the Deaf "Personal communication"
