Hi Ladies (and Gents),
My little girl, who is nearly 2, goes to a lovely childminder who she adores. she goes 3 times a week while I am in work. My little girl really enjoys mixing with the other children who go to the same childminder. HOWEVER: she is being bitten most days (even twice a day) by another little girl who is 18 months. She has been bitten on the arm, the shoulder the face - everywhere! I have spoken to my child minder at length about the problem and she says she is dealing with it (but obviously there is only so much she can do - she can't bite her back or smack her - she just shouts at her and moves here away from my little girl.
I have just bathed my little girl and found another bite on her shoulder which she says was done by the same child. I am at my wits end.
I would not send an older child to school to be hit everyday - I would make sure he or she was moved classes SO I think it is the same for my situation: do you think I should withdraw her from the child minder until the other little girl stops biting?? What would you do???? I am very upset about this but do not know what to do. She is very happy there but this can't go on.
