The Wrath of Manti

When I look at this cute face I sometimes think "he is too sweet" to do anything naughty...
and then reality sets in and I get to deal with this...


BITING!! This is Sebastien's back where Manti has attacked. Sebastien isn't always innocent but I don't think he deserves these horrible bite marks. I really don't understand why Manti resorts to biting. He has never bit anyone else (thank goodness) but WHY does he feel it is okay to attack his brother?? I should add that usually when the biting occurs, there is teasing, playing or fighting involved.

To any of you parents out there who have had a child that likes to bite, what did you do to get it under control? It seems like anything I do doesn't even phase Manti.

Those bite marks look horrible! I don't know that this is the best way either, but my nephew was a biter and his mom bit him just as hard back and he hasn't done it since. Don't know if I could do that, but it worked! Definitely probably considered child abuse!

Kristine, I am with you, I don't know if I could bite him back either. We have resorted to telling Sebastien to bite him back but he won't do it. I am thankful for that because I don't want things to turn into "biting wars" around here.

Ryan bit Daniel once when he was little and I bit his arm. Not nearly as hard as he bit Daniel but hard enough for him to know that it hurts. He never did it again. Like I said, not really hard, just hard enough so that he knows that biting hurts. It worked for us...Good luck!

Emree is adorable by the way! :)
Luv, Lindsay

You might try a flack jacket on Sebastien! Who knows what that will do to Manti's teeth?
