Why toddler bite

Young children may bite as a form of communication when they lack the language skills to express their needs or emotions adequately. It can also stem from frustration, teething discomfort, or a desire for attention. In some cases, children may bite out of curiosity or to explore cause and effect. Understanding and addressing the underlying reasons through gentle guidance and teaching appropriate behavior is crucial. By providing positive reinforcement, teaching empathy, and encouraging verbal communication, caregivers can help children learn alternative ways to express themselves, fostering healthier interactions and social development during this developmental phase.

From squishing playdough to splashing in water bins, each sensory encounter enriches their learning journey. These experiences lay the groundwork for language development, problem-solving, and self-regulation. By incorporating play and sensory activities into daily routines, caregivers provide toddlers with invaluable opportunities to discover, create, and thrive in their early years of development. here to edit.
