Child Biting Directory
Biting is a normal phase of child development. Children may bite due to teething, to get a reaction, as part of exploring, to get attention, and more. For teething children, provide teething toys to reduce biting. For older children, there are strategies you can use to help your child learn better ways to react to situations. If a child 5 or older is still biting, you should get help from a pediatrician or child therapist.
