What to do with a child biting at nursery?
-
My three year old son has been bitten everyday in the past two and a half weeks by a little boy at nursery who is four years old. The staff at the nursery have tried separating them, trying their best to keep them apart but the little boy still manages to bite Hugo. When the little boy's parents and I pick them up, the other child bites Hugo as they get their coats. His parents never said anything. The staff at the nursery have spoken to the parents but they just shrug and say boys will be boys. Hugo is terrified of going to nursery because of this little boy. He tries everything to not go into nursery, he has even held onto things when I try and pick him to get him out of his car seat. I don't really want to pull him out of the nursery as we've paid until the end of december (if we pulled him out we would lose our money) and the other nurseries that we liked are full.

Answer:
OMG, poor baby! I would talk with your daycare again. I know my childrens daycare has a policy that if a child is biting often enough they will get put on a probationary period and if things don't change they will actually ask the parents to find another daycare. And, actually, my niece was a biter and was kicked out of her daycare after a month of daily biting episodes. It seems to me like this little boy biting your son needs some discipline, I could see a toddler biting since they go through a biting phase, but a 4 year old is getting ready to start school and should know better. I am sorry you are faced with this situation. I feel really bad for you. Good luck.

That is awful! Is this a franchise daycare? If so, you could call their corporate number because honestly, a 4 year old should know better and it sounds like he's been given many, many, many chances. If it is not a franchise, you could try talking to the owner once again. I can't believe that it's even gotten this far! I worked in a daycare for 6 years and we had a strict policy on this behavior. 3 times in one day got you sent home and I can't remember for sure but I think if you got sent home 3 times, they would kick you out....and that was even at the toddler age when biting is a "normal" behavior!! Honestly, if nothing is done, I don't see anything else you can do besides remove him from there. I understand there is money that you have paid all ready but your son's safety and happiness is far more important to you for sure. Also, if they are unwilling to do anything, I would call your local newspaper and/or news channel. It just doesn't seem right that they are allowing this behavior to go on and on and on.
