It sounds crude, but bite him back and send him to the corner. I never had this problem but, my brother did and this is what my mom did.

Since your child is biting at daycare, that is where the issue will have to be dealt with. If he/she is not biting people at home, there isn't anything you can do since the behavior must be dealt with when it happens. First, know that the biting is not likely being done out of maliciousness, but is rather done out of the normal way children learn about the world around them. Children use all of their senses to find out how things work. At only 1 year old, your child does not yet know that there are certain things that can be bitten and some that can't. As a child care provider in my home for 20 years, I would be very surprised if your care provider(s) are not dealing with this already at the daycare. If they do have a behavior plan in place and you are just asking this question because you wonder what you can do at home, rest assured that the issue is common and I am sure the daycare has dealt with this before. There is no need to do anything at home unless the behavior shows up there. I have had numerous experiences with biting children (my own children as well as daycare children). A good reaction to the biting action is this: When a child bites another child, take hold firmly of the offending child's shoulder or upper arm, squeeze slightly to get the child's attention and say, "Jacob, do not bite Amy. Biting hurts people and you may not bite anyone." Keep hold for a few more seconds and let the child go then tend to the bitten child. Some children bite out of frustration so it is helpful to be aware of a sitution brewing that may end in biting. Redirect the biter to another toy or activity. While it is helpful to let children work out their own differences, when a biter is involved you may have to step in sooner. I also have a small throw pillow with a removable cover. In the few instances when I had a biter who just took longer to redirect, I would offer the "biting pillow" as an alternative when I could see the frustration building. For little ones your child's age, there is still teething going on so it is very helpful to have acceptable things handy for biting such as a teething ring or a stuffed animal. When the child care worker talks to you about the biting, you can ask them what they are doing at daycare when he/she bites so you can be consistent at home if the need arises.

Have his/her speech evaluated. At this age they understand way more than they can express, making for some harsh behaviors. The daycare should be looking for the trigger. Is it the same kid? Did that kid deserve it (in the child's mind)? Is your child being bullied?
Biting is normal, yet no daycare can handle it. My son was booted from a few daycares for biting.

Bit em' back - but do not do it hard enough to break the skin. If it's only being done while your child is at daycare, you may need to spank/pop him/her. All children go through this stage, don't let your daycare try and convince you other wise.However, you do need to Stop this neg.behavior asap - no one wants their child to Be Bitten. Good Luck !!!!

My daughter did that and the teachers put her in a trouble chair(like timeout) and when she got home she was not allowed to play with any of her toys or things she liked to do and after maybe a couple days of this she stopped. So be consistent with your punishment and it willbe hard but DO NOT give in to them.
