Biting is one of the behaviors that worries parents most. In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains why little kids bite, why "biting back" isn't the answer, and what to do instead.


You'll learn:

• Why toddlers and young children bite

• What biting is really telling you about your child

• Why punishment often misses the root cause

• Three simple steps to handle biting in the moment

• Five ways to prevent biting before it happens

• How to teach the skills that make biting unnecessary


If your child has bitten a sibling, friend, or classmate, this episode will help you respond with confidence while maintaining clear boundaries without chipping away at your child's self-esteem. That’s exactly what you’ll find inside my course Toddlers Made Easy. Tap here to learn more
