Without the Biting Back..Dont' bite your child back.!!!
Just tell her/him in a vey stern voice "NO". You Do Not Bite Mommy or Daddy or Anyone Else For that Matter" Without biting or hurting him/her.. just be very Stern and make him/her cry for like 10 seconds! Once you Raise your voice that Scares a lil One! No Need for Harm or Physcial Harm on the child.
It's like saying...don't shoot me cause it is wrong but I will shoot you cause I prove to you that shooting is wrong! Makes Sense?
If iT DOesn't...then listen.....if you are telling your child not to bite then you turn around and bite them...you are telling them not to do the same thing you are doing....just to show them biting is wrong! Retarted
Just talk very loudly...and say NO. Believe me he/she will listen!!!!!
No hitting MOmmy here!!

Your kid is the son of the devil!
Joking. You just need to teach your kid that biting is not an acceptible behavior. First you need to check yourself and make sure you're not practicing any behavior that could be mistaken as biting infront of your child. Developing children (and people in general) model themselves a great deal after superior figures in their lives.
Secondly you need to emply a bit of punishment. This doesn't necessarily mean spanking. From a psychological context, punishment has two approches. The first is positive punishment. This means the addition (hense 'positive') of an unpleasant stimulus in response to the undesired behavior. Spanking would fall under this category it could also include harsh words. Be creative. The other type is called negative punishment. This means the subtraction (see a patturn yet?) of a pleasant stimulus in response. Say for example the child has candy. He bites another child, you take away his candy.
Even though the child is still relatively young and probably can't understand a verbal explanation of why he's being punished, after enough episodes the child's mind will recognize the patturn (I bite, I get punished).

You need to start disciplining your child. Don't beat him or go to any severe form of discipline, but figure something out. Try time outs as a start, and progress from there. Understand that the biting is bad, but at age 1, the child doesn't understand fully why it is wrong, you need to decide how to properly stop this behavior, and don't bite your son back. Some people believe that if you bite the child back, they will learn just how much it hurts, but you are teaching your child that abusive behavior is acceptable, instead of discouraging it.

First of all, how old is he, if it was the 3yr old, i would obviously say "it's the age, he grow out of it", but as its not have you tried the biting back trick, when my daughter went through the stage of biting (now age four and half), i used to bit her back, it didn't take her long to realise that if she bit, i would bite too. Failing this hit him where it hurts, like i did my mine, we where in children's play area in a shopping centre and she was having a great time, she bit her friend, so i picked her up and took her home, she screamed all the way, but it worked..... Take away everything he likes, Good luck hope this helps in some way....

When my son was learning about kissing, he would bite instead. So it may be a misunderstanding. You need to tell your son that biting hurts and it isn't acceptable. If he bites, remove him from the other children and tell him if he hurts people, then they will not want to play with him anymore.

Warn him 3 times not to bite, if he doesnt, flick him on his lip just enough to shock him. Thats not abuse. Do that every time after giving him 3 warnings. He will quit it. Thats what i did with my 10 month old daughter. When she was teething i would warn her 3 times and offer her a teething ring. If she ignored the ring and bit me i would flick her lip. She learnt not to real fast.

Most likely he is teething . Give him a teething ring to chew on. When he is caught trying to bite sternly tell him "NO, NO BITING" and give a hug to the other child in front of him. He will not like you giving attention to another child and he will learn.
