"Use your mouth for words not biting"....


I've had to use those words twice this week with Kevin. Twice, I gotten a phone call from his teacher, saying that some child took a toy way for a child and then Kevin has bitten the child. So, twice this week, I've gone downstairs to talk to him and remind him that it's not okay to bite some one even if they've upset you. Today I made him call his father on the phone to tell him what he had done....that was very emotional from him to do!!! I'm not sure why the biting is going on. He did just move to a new classroom and we have a lot of changes going on at home with this up coming move. But, I'm hoping that it won't happen again. I did tell him if I get another phone call from his teacher that he bit a child, he would have to get a spanking...and yes, I do spank my children but only when I have to. So, as you go about your day today, just remember to use your mouth for words, not for biting!!

Oh, I hated those moments.

All the advice that was given to me I would not do. We just had to keep repeating what you are doing. You might try having him write an apology note to the other child... that just came to me...
