Notas do episódio

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
