Biting

[x-kirsty-x]

He's been at his Grandmas most of the day but since I brought him home he's been just like his usual self - I think half the trouble is he's just a typical boy! He also takes after me cos I have a really short temper. He picks up on that and thinks its fine to shout and argue.

Cant blame anyone but the parents really

I did ask if he's happy or a bit worried about having a new baby and he said 'Happy!' and had a huge grin on his face

Hey hun I know i dont really know your situation because i only have 1 but it is something iv spoke to my mum about (planning ahead already ) and she said when she was PG with me she told my brother and sat him down and said to himthat mommy was going to have a baby a little brother or sister for him 2 play with but the new baby was going to take up alot of mommys attention during the day but when the baby went to bed at night then she would spend time with him. she also told him that he was going to be a big brother and big brothers needed to help as much as possible, she said whenever anyone spoke about the new baby she would include frazer too into the conversation and would say things like and when the babies here frazer and mommy are going to do this and go here and it made him feel really important she also got him potty trained and into his own bedroom and out the cot into his own bed. sorry i9f this hasnt helped hun just trying to think how i can help it must be hard

dont mean to offend anyone but sometimes bullies parents are as bad as their kids, my parents made us defend for ourselvs and yes i always got bullied untill one day i fought back and it never happend again

I agree! Parents beating each other up or even threatening to is not much crack for the kids is it! I hate seeing this, we were once in a pub one lunch and this guy came in, went to a table and said to a bloke, your son is bullying my son, and pummelled him (it wasnt pretty there was blood everywhere) and I thought ''yeh good way to solve it you pratt'' Double standards......your kid cant bully my kid cause its wrong, but im gonna bully you, cause thats ok!!

Sorry off subject

Hope he stops biting soon hun - I know the biting back technique that has worked on nurmerous occasions as well!

Re the jealousy thing - my bro is was 2.5 when I was 6 months in my bouncing cradle he pushed a speaker on top of me (you know the speakers in the 80's - huge things) luckily my cradle had quite raised sides so it didnt touch me - he still grins when I said ''you tried to kill me when I was unable to defend myself##

next time u see your brother say to him, 'now im big enough to defend myself lets have your best shot' only joking hun, but trust him to still laugh men eh

I used to try but he is bigger than me so can still beat me up, plus no he has the added bonus of being a copper so knows where to hit me once and nearly paralise me I just satify myself with telling his g/f embarrasing storied about him ha ha

I hope you get the biting thing sorted Kirsty

I went to pick him up from nursery on Friday and they asked me if they could have a word...he'd been biting again

I had a good chat with his teachers and told them he'd been doing it at home too. I said I've tried being angry, being calm, ignoring him etc. I also mentioned that alot of people recommend biting kids back and the teachers looked horrified and said not to do it as he would then think it was acceptable.

Im hoping once the hype of Christmas is out the way he'll start and behave. I'll just try and persevere with him and hope he gets better!

The thing is hun they have to be seen to be doing it right they cant tell you that its ok to bite back although any who've had kids would probably tell you they had tried it. I bit my mum and she bit me back i didnt do it again, i wouldnt say they would believe its acceptable it would teach him it hurts,
